The reaction of azidoformates with low‐density polyethylene melts gives rise to carbamate‐modified polymers. The reaction is accompanied by crosslinking especially at high concentration of azide. The polymer‐bound carbamate group is relatively unreactive, but may be thermally decomposed to give isocyanate‐modified polyethylene.
