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. 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. At elevated temperatures, carbonyl and hydroxyl groups are formed in these polymers along with nitration products. Active participants of NO2 reactions with rubbers are double bonds converting into nitroalkyl and alkyl radicals initiating then free radical conversions of these polymers. Polymers containing amide, urethane and imide groups are rather sensitive to NO2. These materials undergo essential changes in the chemical structure with formation of stable nitrogen-containing radicals. The reactions of nitrogen dioxide provide a simple method of the spin-labeled polymer preparation.
