Method of manufacturing a polyacetylene conjugate polymer

Abstract

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a polyacetylene type superlong conjugate polymer that is stable in an atmosphere containing oxygen. The polymer is made by chemically adsorbing a chemical adsorption substance containing an acetylene group and a chlorosilyl group to a substrate surface, and polymerizing the acetylene group in a solvent containing a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. In a non-aqueous organic solvent, a chemical adsorption substance containing an acetylene group and a chlorosilyl group is dissolved. For example, a substrate is immersed in .omega.-nonadecylinoic trichlorosilane, and a monomolecular film is formed on the substrate by chemical adsorption. The substrate is then immersed in an organic solvent containing a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, and the acetylene group of the monomolecular film is polymerized.
