PURPOSE: In polymerizing a raw material monomer in a gaseous state at normal temperature under normal pressure by bringing it into contact with a polymerization catalyst, to obtain a novel high polymer material having high degree of orientation and improved characteristics, by carrying out partially polymerization in a state wherein the monomer is in contact with a liquid crystal substance.
CONSTITUTION: In polymerizing a raw material monomer (e.g., ethylene, etc.) in a gaseous state at normal temperature under normal pressure by bringing it into contact with a polymerization catalyst (e.g., Ziegler-Natta catalyst, etc.)., the polymerization is at least partially carried out by bringing the gaseous monomer into contact with a liquid crystal substance [e.g., 4-(trans-4-n-propylcyclohexyl)- ethoxybenzene, etc.], to give the desired polymer. The layer of the liquid crystal substance has preferably a free surface.
