  • Patent number: 4745163
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing a polyacetylene film by contacting acetylene gas with Ziegler-Natta catalyst to polymerize the acetylene gas in a vessel which comprises a catalyst introduction conduit to be introduced with the Ziegler-Natta catalyst provided at a cap provided at the top of the vessel and having an end opening disposed in the vicinity of the inner surface of the side wall of the vessel in such a manner that the conduit and the vessel are relatively moved in rotation, and a rotary transmission mechanism for driving to rotatably coat the catalyst flowed out from the end opening of the conduit on the inner surface of the bottom from the inner surface of the side wall of the vessel. Thus, the polyacetylene film can be produced in a uniform thickness and in a relatively large area by introducing the Ziegler-Natta catalyst of the suitable quantity, and the catalyst can be spread over the entire surface rapidly by the relative rotation between the conduit and the vessel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 1986

    Assignee: Hoxan Corporation
    Inventors: Ichiro Hide, Junichi Umetsu
  • Patent number: 4675137
    Abstract: A method for producing a polyacetylene film by introducing acetylene gas into a vessel for storing Ziegler-Natta catalyst to polymerize the acetylene gas with the catalyst which comprises a film forming projecting flat section having a film forming flat surface projected from the surface of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst stored in the bottom of the vessel, thereby coating the Ziegler-Natta catalyst on the inner surface of the side wall of the vessel and the film forming flat surface. Thus, the acetylene gas introduced into the vessel is polymerized with the catalyst to produce the polyacetylene film. In this manner, the polyacetylene film having a constant thickness of high quality can be produced with the Ziegler-Natta catalyst of the suitable amount by providing the film forming flat surface even in the bottom of the vessel, thereby improving the production efficiency.
