The present description relates to olefin block copolymers having excellent elasticity and processability in conjunction with enhanced heat resistance, and to a preparation method thereof. The olefin block copolymers comprise a plurality of blocks or segments that comprise ethylene or propylene repeating units and &#x3b1;-olefin repeating units at different mole fractions from one another, wherein the block copolymer shows peaks at the 2&#x3b8; of 21.5&#xb1;0.5&#xb0; and 23.7&#xb1;0.5&#xb0; in a wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) pattern, and the peak ratio defined by (the peak area at 21.5&#xb1;0.5&#xb0;)/(the peak area at 23.7&#xb1;0.5&#xb0;) is no more than 3.0.

Olefin block copolymers and production methods thereof

The present invention relates to a novel metallocene compound, a catalyst composition comprising the same, and to olefinic polymers produced using the same. The metallocene compound according to the present invention and the catalyst composition comprising the same can be used when producing olefinic polymers, have outstanding copolymerization properties, and can produce olefinic polymers of high molecular weight. In particular, when the metallocene compound according to the present invention is employed, highly heat resistant block copolymers can be produced, and olefinic polymers can be produced which have a high melting point (Tm) even if the comonomer content is increased when producing the olefinic polymer.
