Abstract: The course of photooxidation of the films prepared in the absence of commercial stabilizers from polypropylene blends containing beech prehydrolysis 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.
