Abstract
A first ethylene-based interpolymer comprising, in polymerized form, monomer units derived from ethylene and from a benzocyclobutene (VBCB) structure of Structure 1; wherein n is from 3 to 10; and wherein the ethylene-based polymer comprises, in polymerized form, from 0.02 to 0.70 wt % of the Structure 1, based on the weight of the first ethylene-based interpolymer, as determined by 1H NMR is provided. Further provided is a composition which comprises a second ethylene-based inter-polymer formed by thermally treating a first ethylene-based interpolymer.

A first ethylene-based interpolymer comprising, in polymerized form, monomer units derived from ethylene and from a benzocyclobutene (VBCB) structure of Structure 1:
- wherein n is from 3 to 10;
- and
- wherein the ethylene-based interpolymer comprises, in polymerized form, from 0.02 to 0.70 wt % of the Structure 1, based on the weight of the first ethylene-based interpolymer, as determined by 1H NMR;
- and
- wherein the first ethylene-based interpolymer comprises greater than 99 wt % units, in polymerized form, derived from ethylene, based on the weight of the first ethylene-based interpolymer.
A composition comprising:
- a first ethylene-based interpolymer comprising, in polymerized form, monomer units derived from ethylene and from a benzocyclobutene (VBCB) structure of Structure 1:
- wherein n is from 3 to 10;
- and
- wherein the ethylene-based interpolymer comprises, in polymerized form, from 0.02 to 0.70 wt % of the Structure 1, based on the weight of the first ethylene-based interpolymer, as determined by 1H NMR;
- and
- wherein the first ethylene-based interpolymer is thermally treated to form a second ethylene-based interpolymer.
