The present invention relates to a polymer comprising: (a) from 40 mol-% to 99 mol-%, of repeating units according to Formula (1) wherein at least 10 wt.-% of the repeating units comprises from 28 wt.-% to 100 wt.-% bio-based carbon content, relative to the total mass of carbon in the repeating unit according to Formula (1), measured according to standard ASTM D6866-12, Method B; n n n n n n n n n n (b) from 0.01 mol-% to 5 mol-% of crosslinking or branching units, wherein the crosslinking or branching units result from the incorporation of a monomer comprising at least two olefinically unsaturated double bonds; and (c) from 0.99 mol-% to 59.99 mol-% of repeating neutral structural units wherein at least 10% of the neutral structural units comprises from 0 wt.-% to 100 wt.-% bio-based carbon content, relative to the total mass of carbon in the repeating unit, measured according to standard ASTM D6866-12, Method B. |
