Abstract

Abstract A catalyst of A. A MOLYBDENUM SALT B. AN ETHER C. AN ORGANO ALUMINIUM COMPOUND AND D. A Lewis acid IS DESCRIBED AS WELL AS A PROCESS FOR ITS MANUFACTURE. This catalyst is used to polymerise and copolymerise cyclic olefins under ring opening to form polyalkenamers. Polymerisation in an inert organic solvent is preferred. The polymers obtained are vulcanisable rubbers or thermoplasts.
