Abstract
Using a polymerization catalyst comprising as a main ingredient a metal compound containing a transition metal of group of the periodic table and having at least one imide group and at least two substituent (A) selected from the group consisting of an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylamide group and an arylamide group, a polycyclic norbornene monomer is polymerized to give a ring-opened norbornene polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 1,000,000 as expressed in terms of polystyrene and a melting point of 140° C. or higher. This polymer is hydrogenated to give a hydrogenated product having a melting point of 140° C. or higher.
