This dataset contains videos and front speed measurements for 16 frontal ring-opening metastasis polymerization experiments of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)/5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) resins and norbornene-functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (nor-PDMS) comonomers. Each run was carried out in a 10 mm diameter glass test tube and recorded to quantify front propagation behavior. Reported front speeds were extracted by video tracking and reported maximum front temperatures were measured with a thermocouple.
