Ionomers of ethylene, unsaturated carboxylic acid and softening comonomer, e.g. alkyl acrylate and/or alkyl vinyl ether having improved low temperature properties are obtained by direct or graft copolymerization at a temperature of from about 100 to about 200 DEG C, followed by neutralization of the carboxylic acid groups with metal ions, such ionomers being characterized by a low level of chain branching of up to about 2.8 chain branches/1000 backbone methylene units. |
