Reactivity of Polymers on Exposure to Nitrogen Dioxide

The mechanism of reactions of nitrogen dioxide with polymers of different classes is considered. In reactions with carbon-chain polymers at 298 K, nitrogen dioxide can only add to extrinsic double bonds that are formed in the synthesis of the polymers.

These reactions resulted in dinitro compounds and nitro nitrites.
