               0 to 99% by weight, based on the total weight of cycloolefin          
          polymer, of one or more acyclic olefins of the formula VIII                






          in which R9, R10, R11 and R12 are identical or different and are a         
          hydrogen atom or a C1-C20 hydrocarbon radical; and                         
               said particulate core/shell component consisting essentially          
          of: one or more rubber phase(s) and one or more hard phase(s),             
          the hard phase having a glass transition temperature above 50°C            
          and the rubber phase having a lower glass transition temperature           
          than said hard phase, said rubber and hard phases consisting               
          essentiall

          component comprising a copolymer of the reactants comprising               
          norbornene or tetracyclododecene and an acyclic olefin, and                
          dispersed in said cycloolefin copolymer component, (b) a                   
          particulate core/shell component comprising at least one rubbery           
          phase having a glass transition temperature below 0°C and a hard           
          phase having a glass transition temperature above 50°C; the                
          rubbery phase consisting essentially of, or, if more than one              
          rubbery phase is present in said alloy, each said rubbery phase            
          consisting essentially of one or more polymerized unsaturated
