Claim Text:
1. An ionomer comprising ionic strained olefin monomer (ISOM) units and optionally random or sequentially placed strained olefin monomer (SOM) units, having the following structure: wherein the ISOM and SOM units are connected by carbon-carbon single bonds and/or carbon-carbon double bonds, wherein the ISOM unit has a non-aromatic hydrocarbon backbone and comprises one or more tetraalkylammonium groups connected to the backbone by an aliphatic polyatomic linkage or aliaromatic polyatomic linkage, and any carbon atoms in the beta position relative to an ammonium nitrogen do not bear hydrogen substituents, wherein the SOM unit is a non-aromatic hydrocarbon unit, wherein x is from 0.05 to 1.0, and wherein the SOM units or ISOM units are formed from SOMs or ISOMs, respectively, that have a strained ring or carbocyclic structure and an alkene moiety in a ring-opening metathesis polymerization.
