The glow discharge polymerization benzene and cyclohexane at 13.56 mHz, and 60 watts, in a plug flow reactor with inner electrodes was studied. Film powder and oily polymeric products were obtained from benzene, and only films were produced from cyclohexane. Polymers produced were analyzed by infrared and their characteristic maps demonstrating the correlation between various physical forms of polymer and reaction conditions were prepared. Excepting oily products, all others are found highly crosslinked and contained free radicals. Contrary to the plasma polymerization (PP) oil of benzene, all others showed no aromatic character.
