Abstract
A process for the production of a suspension of doped polyacetylene particles, in which process acetylene is initially polymerized in a suspending agent with the formation of a suspension of polyacetylene particles in "burr" form, the catalyst is deactivated or removed, the solvent is optionally exchanged, and p- or n-doping is then carried out by adding a dopant additive in substance or in solution to the suspension.
Claims3
A process for the production of a suspension suitable for forming films and coatings by spray-drying of doped polyacetylene particles, said process comprising introducing acetylene into an organic solvent which is a hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon and contains, as a Ziegler catalyst, a catalytic amount of a reaction product of (1) a metal compound of Groups IVb, Vb, VIb, VIIb, or VIII of the Periodic Table and (2) an aluminium alkyl or aluminum alkyl halide to thereby form shaped polyacetylene particles suspended in the organic solvent, deactivating the Ziegler catalyst, and p- or n-doping the polyacetylene particles by adding a dopant additive.
