The course of photooxidation of the films prepared in the absence of c
ommercial stabilizers from polypropylene blends containing beech prehy
drolysis lignin or spruce organosolv lignin in content up to 10 mass %
was examined. The results obtained demonstrate that lignin can act as
stabilizer or initiator of degradation of polypropylene depending on
the type and content of lignin preparation in polymer blends.
