Abstract:
An interpolymer comprising from about 0.1 to about 99.9 mol percent of ethylene, from 0 to about 10 mol percent of carbon monoxide, and from about 0.1 to about 99.9 mol percent of at least one, or more, monomer units selected from the group consisting of 2,3-dihydrofuran and a heteroatom substituted olefin monomer unit derived from a compound of the formula XV wherein E and G represent the same or different heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, which are bound to a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted hydrocarbyl group, or are joined by a linking group; and n is 0 or an integer from 1-20, and said interpolymer having a melting peak temperature (Tm) equal to or greater than 50Â° C.
