Abstract
The ring-opening metathesis polymerization of dicyclopentadiene with dimeth yltitanocene and in situ prepared substituted dimethyltitanocenes was studi ed. The results showed that at low concentration dimethyltitanocene catalyz ed the polymerization of dicyclopentadiene to give linear polymer at 70-90 degrees C and that the introduction of oxygen-containing substituents on cy clopentadienyl rings decreased catalytic activity due to a steric effect.
