Thermoset polycycloolefins are obtained by polymerizing at an elevated temperature a cycloolefin containing at least one norbornene group in the presence of a metathesis catalyst system and also in the presence of an effective amount of a polyfunctional cycloolefin crosslinker containing at least one norbornene group, but preferably two or more, with two or more unsaturated sites, preferably two or more double bonds. |
