Abstract
2,3-Bis(methoxymethyl)-7-oxanorbornene was polymerised in water plus a t least 9 g dm-3 Synperonic F127 by ring-opening metathesis polymerisa tion (ROMP) initiated by commercial ruthenium trichloride. Stable disp ersions with particle radii 0.03 mum or less were formed. Polymer mole cular weights and molecular weight ratios by gel permeation chromatogr aphy (M(pk) > 10(5), M(w)BAR/M(n)BAR approximately 2) were similar to those found earlier for ROMP of the same monomer in solution in aqueou s ethanol.
