The present disclosure provides compositions comprising:a) a copolymer prepared by a method comprising polymerizing in the presence of a metathesis catalyst:i) a first monomer, wherein each instance of the first monomer is independently of the formula:or salt thereof;ii) a second monomer, wherein each instance of the second monomer is independently of the formula:or a salt thereof;iii) optionally a third monomer, wherein the third monomer is different from the first monomer and the second monomer; andiv) optionally a reprocessing catalyst; andb) optionally the reprocessing catalyst;wherein the reprocessing catalyst is a Brønsted acid, Lewis acid, Brønsted base, Lewis base, or a salt thereof;provided that the composition comprises at least one of the reprocessing catalyst of iv) and the reprocessing catalyst of b).The compositions may be reprocessed (e.g., remolded) under elevated temperature and/or elevated pressure. |
