Resumen:
In this work, the synthesis and the final properties of new polyurethane foams based on castor oil modified with maleic anhydride are studied. In addition, the biodegradation is investigated by enzymatic attack of different microbial cultures under aerobic conditions. The microorganisms used were Pseudomonas sp., Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus clavatus.
