The aim of this study was to prepare thin polymer layers able to give a color change response to oxygen. Thin layers were prepared with different polymers and dyes. The rate of photocatalytic reduction of a dye and the rate of the color change response to oxygen were studied. To verify oxygen sensitivity of a prepared layer, oxygen absorbers were used to create anaerobic conditions. The effect of visible light irradiation on a prepared layer was examined as well. Influence of glycerol content on the kinetics of the photocatalytic reduction and the color change response was studied. Considering both reactions, the glycerol content of 1 % was found to be the most suitable. Methylene blue in prepared layer was reduced 48 s after previous UVA irradiation with intensity of 0,1 mWcm-2. The color change response to oxygen is readily distinguished by the naked eye within 20 minutes.
