Further work on the polymerization of 1,3‐cyclohexadiene by the action of Zieglertype catalysis and by cationic initiation has been carried out and polymers with an inherent viscosity of 0.1–0.19 have been obtained consistently. Dehydrogenation of the poly‐1,3‐cyclohexadiene by halogenation followed by pyrolysis has given good conversion to a polyphenyl which has some units which are incompletely aromatized. This polymer has very good heat stability but is not a useful polymer for plastic purposes.
