What is it about?
A black char less than 20 wt% in weight of the raw polyacetylene PA film was obtained after the carbonization accompanying thermal decomposition. Hollow spehrical or elliptical graphitic nano-particles were observed in the black char.

Why is it important?
Polyacetylene crystals have a tendency to transforme into a graphitic structure in carbonization at temperatures of above 800 ℃.
Perspectives
Graphitic structures are able to obtain with carbonization of polyacetylene.
