Articles comprising cyclic olefin, catalyst, and second polymerizable material, methods and compositions

A method of making an article comprising:

• A) applying a composition to a substrate wherein the composition comprises
• i) cyclic olefin(s);
• ii) a ring opening metathesis polymerization catalyst;
• iii) a second polymerizable material selected from the group consisting of:
• a) epoxide-containing component(s);
• and
• b) (meth)acrylate monomer(s) comprising a cycloaliphatic or heterocycloaliphatic group;
• iv) an initiator for the second polymerizable material;
• wherein the composition comprises greater than 25 wt. % of i) and greater than 25 wt. % of at least one of a) or b) based on the total of i) and iii);
• B) polymerizing the cyclic olefins;
• and
• C) curing the second polymerizable material.
