Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de polymérisation ou de copolymérisation d'éthylène avec des comonomères vinyliquement insaturés, à des températures comprises entre 110 et 350 °C et des pressions comprises entre 1000 et 4000 bars en présence d'initiateurs de polymérisation de type peroxyde. Selon ce procédé, pour influencer la vitesse de décomposition des initiateurs de polymérisation de type peroxyde, on ajoute au mélange de polymérisation au moins un acide carboxylique non polymérisable dans des proportions comprises entre 0,01 et 2,0 % en poids, par rapport à la proportion totale d'éthylène dans le mélange de polymérisation.
