Abstract

Modified copolymers which have viscosities which vary very markedly with changes in temperature are obtained by malaxating a statistical copolymer of ethylene and maleic anhydride containing between 0.5 and 20% by weight of units derived from maleic anhydride and having a melt index of between 0.1 and 500 dg/min, in the molten state with at least one chemical reagent containing at least two reactive groups which are amine or alcoholic --OH groups but at most primary or secondary amine group and at least one alcoholic --OH group.
