The use of the lewis acid provided by the present invention in the preparation of an ethylene-maleic anhydride alternating copolymer and an efficient process for the preparation of an ethylene-maleic anhydride alternating copolymer are described in detail above, and specific examples are set forth herein to illustrate the principles and embodiments of the present invention, and the description of the examples above is only intended to aid in understanding the process of the present invention and its core ideas, including the best mode, and to also enable any person skilled in the art to practice the invention, including making and using any devices or systems, and performing any incorporated methods. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and adaptations of the invention can be made without departing from the principles of the invention and these modifications and adaptations are intended to be within the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims. The scope of the patent protection is defined by the claims and may include other embodiments that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other embodiments are intended to be within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements with insubstantial differences from the literal language of the claims.
