Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a type of olefin metathesis chain-growth polymerization.The driving force of the reaction is relief of ring strain in cyclic olefins (e.g. norbornene or cyclopentene).A variety of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts have been developed. Most large-scale commercial processes rely on the former while some fine chemical syntheses rely on the ... More @Wikipedia
