Abstract:
Provided is a process of effectively producing an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer having excellent mechanical and thermal properties. A process for producing an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer comprises: producing an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymer from ethylene and unsaturated carboxylic acid ester using a late-transition-metal complex catalyst; and heating the ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymer at a temperature capable of converting the ester group into a carboxylic acid group, thereby converting into the ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer.

Abstract:
To provide an industrially useful α-olefin•((meth)acrylic acid)-based olefin copolymer having both a high molecular weight and a high comonomer content, a catalyst component capable of realizing a production of two different kinds of α-olefin•((meth)acrylic acid)-based olefin copolymers, and a production process using the catalyst. An α-olefin•((meth)acrylic acid)-based olefin copolymer is produced by using a metal complex complexed with a ligand represented by the following formula (Y is phosphorus or arsenic) for a catalyst composition.
