Another type of polymerization that also uses organometallic catalysts is ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) [15-17]. This is not used for the major volume polymers but is discussed here because it represents another method of polymerization. The word, metathesis derives from... 

Norsorex A process for making a thermosetting polymer from norhomene by ring-opening metathesis (ROMP). The product contains double bonds and can be cross-linked it can be made into a porous polymer, useful for absorbing oil. Various organometallic catalysts may be used in the polymerization.
