Abstract
A process for the modification of .alpha.-olefin (co)polymers to introduce branching, is disclosed. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process of branching .alpha.-olefins by contacting said .alpha.-olefins with a peroxide compound containing an activated unsaturated group at a temperature above 120.degree. C. The process may be carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere or in the melt form under an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
