The obtention the polymeric system from raw materials of natural origin, such as chitosan and gelatine, constitute one alternative of green chemistry and sustainability. Particularly, the chitosan (Qh) and gelatine (Ge) represents waste materials of the San Jorge Gulf coasts, Argentine.In order to improve the mechanical properties, both polymeric networks can be cross-linked to yield films with potential biomedical applications.
