Abstract

A frontally polymerized polymeric body includes, according to a first embodiment, a deformable polymer comprising polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) and/or poly(5-ethylidene-2-norbornene) (pENB), where the deformable polymer has a fracture strain of at least about 0.5 mm mm−1. According to a second embodiment, the frontally polymerized polymeric body includes a first polymer comprising pDCPD and/or pENB, and a second polymer adjacent to the first polymer also comprising the pDCPD and/or the pENB. The second polymer is more or less deformable than the first polymer. Thus, the frontally polymerized polymeric body exhibits spatially varying mechanical and/or other properties.
