Abstract

Processes for producing high pressure polyethylene and processes for increasing the crosslinkability of high pressure polyethylene are disclosed. The processes comprise controlling particular reaction parameters that have been found to promote crosslinkability in the resulting high pressure polyethylene. High pressure polyethylenes having improved crosslinkability are also disclosed.
