Polyoctenamer reacts with singlet oxygen to produce polymeric pendant hydroperoxide groups. Anthracene was used as a sensitizer for production of singlet oxygen under 365 nm irradiation. Remarkable differences were observed when the reaction was performed in the solid state or in the solution. Hydroperoxidation in the solution was much slower than in the film, and only pendant hydroperoxides were produced. Conversely, two processes take place in the film. One is the “ene” reaction of singlet oxygen with double bonds producing hydroperoxides as in the solution; the second one is a radical process producing both carbonyl products and additional hydroperoxides. This process went on after anthracene was completly consumed. Irradiation (λ 〉 300 nm) of hydroperoxidized polyoctenamer solution in the presence of monomers (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl or 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl acrylate) or stable nitroxyl radicals (stearoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl-N-oxyl or TEMPO) grafted these monomers or stable radicals onto the polyoctenamer. Light stabilizing efficiency of grafted and low molecular additives was tested in polyoctenamer. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 2599-2605, 1997
