SUMMARY

  • The raw materials (from renewable sources) were functionalized as follows: chitosan was grafted with furyl groups and castor oil with maleimide groups.
  • The structure of the resulting compounds was elucidated using FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopies.
  • Crosslinking of chitosan proceeded through the Diels-Alder reaction of the furyl groups grafted onto its backbone and the maleimidic ones from the functionalized castor oil structure.
  • All the result indicators foreseen in the "project implementation plan" were achieved: 1 participation in scientific events (1 oral presentation), creation of the project website.
