Abstract

The compositions contain a) less than 90% and at least 2% by weight of at least one ethylene polymer (A), and optionally, at least one .alpha.-olefin having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, said polymer containing at least 70% in moles of patterns derived from ethylene, and b) more than 10% and up to 98% by weight of at least one polymer (B) containing at least 85% in moles of patterns derived from at least one .alpha.-olefin having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms and at the most 15% in moles of patterns derived from ethylene, and are characterized in that the polymer (A) is a modified polymer of which the measured limit viscosity is comprised between 1.3 and 100 times its limit viscosity calculated from the distribution of molecular masses. The compositions are obtained by a process consisting in providing a polymer of ethylene and, optionally, of at least one .alpha.-olefin having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms in the presence, on the one hand, of at least one initiator of free radicals in a quantity comprised between 0,001 and 0.3 parts by weight of the initiator for one hundred parts by weight of said polymer at a temperature higher than the melting temperature of said polymer during a time at …
