Abstract

The present invention relates to a copolymer which contains 3-methylbut-1-ene as a comonomer and which contains ethene or propene as a further monomer, the proportion of the incorporated 3-methylbut-1-ene being 0.1 to 40 mol %, and to a process for preparing such copolymers, the polymerization being performed in the presence of a catalyst which comprises at least one cyclopentadienyl group.
