Polyethylene powder bearing hydroperoxide groups was used for grafting of different monomers in aqueous and nonaqueous media. Polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the matrix of photooxidized polyethylene proved to be a sensitive method for detection of early stages of photodegradation. A new redox‐initiation system was developed for grafting of vinyl chloride onto hydroperoxidized polyethylene powder.
