Abstract: This invention is related to a new method of synthesizing polycarbynes. These polymers are known to produce diamond and diamond like ceramics upon heating, by plasma processing, and chemical vapour deposition. The method of synthesizing polycarbynes is characterized by, Placing trihaloalkanes (RCX3) or mixtures of them in any proportion, solvent (2) and electrolyte in a container (1), Application of electricity to electrodes (4) using a suitable power supply (3).
