B. Kosikova et al., CHARACTERISTICS OF FREE-RADICALS IN COMPOSITE LIGNIN POLYPROPYLENE FILMS STUDIED BY THE EPR METHOD, European Polymer Journal, 29(11), 1993, pp. 1495-1497
The presence and behaviour of free radicals in the composite lignin/po
lypropylene films upon heating were studied by electron spin resonance
spectroscopy. The variations of free radical concentration with the p
roportion of lignin in the composites indicate the radical character o
f the interaction between paramagnetic sites of the lignin and polypro
pylene.
