Poly Norsorex

We also mentioned Vestenamer 8012, a predominantly trans polymer of cyclooctene made with a WC16 based catalyst (Degussa-Hiils), used in blends and poly-norbomene made by a catalyst generated from RuC13 in t-BuOH in the presence of air (Norsorex by Atofina, a polymer with a very high molecular weight). 

Industrially, ROMP is used for the production of cheap highly unsaturated polymers e.g., Norsorex, Vestenamer. For example, poly-(norbomene) is produced in quantities of around 5 kta-1, under the tradename of Norsorex (18). Examples for commercially available grades and tradenames are shown in Table 1.9. Tradenames appearing in the references are shown in Table 1.10. 

ALTERNATIVE NAME, TRADE NAMES Poly(l,3-cyclopentylenevinylene), Norsorex , Telene (copolymer)... 

The product, poly[l,3-cyclopentylenevinylene], is a commercial synthetic specially rubber, with a trade name of Norsorex. Reports in the literature show that there may be more than one mechanism of termination. One of them may be a formation of cyclopropane rings. This is a typical reaction...
