The reaction of radical polymerization of 8-acetoxytetracyclo[4.4.1^2,5.1^7,10.0^1,6]dodec-3-ene as well as its copolymerization with methacrylic acids in the presence of BF₃·OEt₂ in bulk and in the medium of organic solvent, particularly in benzene was investigated. The influence of various factors: the amount of catalyst, temperature and reaction time on the process of polymerization, as well as the influence of the monomer ratio on the copolymerization process was studied. The structure of the obtained homo- and copolymers was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and the thermal stability of the obtained polymers and their cured products was studied
