A study of the properties of Kaons in nuclear matter using chiral unitary techniques is done, of relevance to the interaction of kaons with nuclei or the eventual Kaon condensation in neutron stars. Application to Kaonic atoms will be reported. While kaon condensation will probably not occur in neutron stars, strangeness can however appear in the form of hyperons. Preliminary results on the composition and properties of strange neutron star matter obtained with realistic baryon-baron interactions will be reported.
