ABSTRACT. A new method for synthesis of C60 polyfullerene in bulk quantities by irradiation of C60 water suspension is suggested. The properties of initial and photopolymerized dried suspension were studied by means of XRD, Raman and IR - spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Similarities and diversities of pressure-induced C60 polymer and C60 photopolymer are considered.
