What is Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP)?
Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) is a form of metathesis polymerization that utilizes strained cyclic olefins to produce polymers. This process involves the breaking of a double bond in a cyclic olefin and the subsequent formation of a linear polymer through a chain reaction. ROMP is particularly valued for its ability to produce well-defined polymers with unique properties.
