Gamma alumina, γ‐Al 2 O 3 , was fractured in an atmosphere of acetylene monomer at room temperature to test whether they would be polymerized by mechanochemistry method on the surface of the alumina. The experimental results were obtained by serveral different methods, including CP–MAS 13 C‐NMR, ESR, pressure drop measurements of the monomer, optical absorption spectroscopy, and solvancy. The results proved the mechanochemical polymerization of acetylene monomer on surfaces of the fractured alumina. Several other combinations of either silica and acetylene monomer or polymers and acetylene monomer were tested for mechanochemical polymerization. This process proceeded with less efficiency in the silica system but no mechanochemical polymerization of acetylene was found in the combinations of the polymers and acetylene monomer.
