A novel thermally crosslinkable polyolefin was synthesized from biorenewable oleic acid. The obtained polymer exhibited a unique structure, bearing an inner olefin moiety in the long side chain. Since thermal auto‐oxidation and crosslinking reactions occurred at the inner olefin moiety of polymer, it could be cured by heating in air. The resultant polymer exhibited good adhesion properties to various substrates.
