## Abstract The alkylation of kraft lignin with bromododecane was carried out to improve the compatibility with polypropylene (PP). The feasibility of PP/alkylated lignin composite was studied. It was found that the lignin could serve as fire retardant and toughening agent for PP matrix. Moreover,

✦ Synopsis
The effects of phenolic microspheres (PFM) on crystallinity and mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene were studied. Isotactic polypropylene-PFM blends were formed by injection or moulding methods. The addition of PFM influences neither the degree of crystallinity of the polypropylene matrix nor the elastic properties of the composites. The specific work of deformation to yield decreases rapidly when the volume fraction of PFM exceeds 0.01.

It is often pointed out that low water absorption and moisture permeability are drawbacks of polypropylene (PP). In this study, blending with an amorphous polymer was used to modify PP. For improving the properties of PP without any property depression, PP was blended with phenolic resin-Novolak typ
