    Abstract: A process to form a rheology modified composition, the process comprising applying radiation, and optionally heat, to a composition that comprises at least the following component: a) an olefin-based polymer comprising a total unsaturation ≥0.20 /1000 C; and wherein the radiation is applied using an electron beam (e-beam) at a dosage selected from 0.1 MRad to 1.5 MRad; and wherein component a is selected from a telechelic polyolefin of the formula A1L1L2A2, an unsaturated polyolefin of the formula A1L1, or an ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer. A process to form a rheology modified composition, the process comprising applying heat, and optionally radiation, to a composition that comprises at least the following components: a) an olefin-based polymer, as described above, comprising a total unsaturation ≥0.20/1000 C; b) from 1.0 to 100 ppm of a peroxide, based on the weight of the composition.

    Abstract: Functionalized ethylene-based polymers are prepared by a process comprising the step of reacting a first composition comprising an ethylene-based polymer with at least the following: (A) at least one carbon-carbon (C—C) free radical initiator of Structure I: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are each, independently, hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group; and wherein, optionally, two or more R groups (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6) form a ring structure; and with the provisos that (i) at least one of R2 and R5 is a hydrocarbyl group of at least two carbon atoms, and (ii) at least one of R3 and R6 is a hydrocarbyl group of at least two carbon atoms; and (B) at least one free radical initiator other than the carbon-carbon (C—C) free radical initiator of Structure I (a non-C—C free radical initiator), e.g., a peroxide; and (C) at least one functionalization agent, e.g., maleic anhydride.
