The present invention relates to a polymer comprising: (a) from 90 mol-% to 99.9 mol-%, of repeating units according to Formula (1) wherein at least 10 wt.-% of the repeating units according to Formula (1) comprise 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;and (b) from 0.01 mol-% to 10 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.
