Abstract
The imine-bond formation on chitosan backbones occurs with very low yields in aqueous solutions and is significantly improved in hydrogels or in solid state films. The dynamic exchanges of imino-R groups and colour transfer can occur at the interfaces between various hydrogels and solid state films.
