A process to form a crosslinked composition comprising thermally treating a composition at a temperature ≥ 25° C., in the presence of moisture, and wherein the composition comprises the following components: a) an olefin/silane interpolymer, b) a cure catalyst selected from the following: i) a metal alkoxide, ii) a metal carboxylate, iii) a metal sulfonate, iv) an aryl sulfonic acid, v) a tris-aryl borane, vi) any combination of two or more from i)-v). Also, a composition comprising the following components a and b, as described above. A process to form an olefin/alkoxysilane interpolymer, and the corresponding composition, said process comprising thermally treating a composition comprising the following components: a) an olefin/silane interpolymer, b) an alcohol, and c) a Lewis acid.
