Abstract
Provided are processes for the oxidative functionalization of polyolefins by ozone. Such a process may comprise exposing a polyolefin to an alkane swelling agent under conditions to form a pretreated polyolefin; and exposing the pretreated polyolefin to ozone under conditions to oxidize the pretreated polyolefin to form a functionalized polyolefin.
