Ring-opening metathesis polymerization

In polymer chemistry, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a type of chain-growth polymerization involving olefin metathesis.[1] The reaction is driven by relieving ring strain in cyclic olefins.[2] A variety of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts have been developed for different polymers and mechanisms.[3] Heterogeneous catalysts are typical in large-scale commercial processes, while homogeneous catalysts are used in finer laboratory chemical syntheses.[4] Organometallic catalysts used in ROMP usually have transition metal centres, such as tungsten, ruthenium, titanium, etc., with organic ligands.[5]
