contents By implementing a full non-linear treatment of $f(R)$ gravity in static and spherically symmetric spacetimes, we analyze two scenarios. The first one within the context of the solar-system tests where we try to recover the chameleon effects without any approximations in the equations (e.g. linearization) from $f(R)$ models that are compatible with cosmology. The second scenario deals with a quadratic $f(R)$ model that is tested in neutron stars. This scenario, which is associated with strong gravity, is completely independent from the first one, but exploits the fact that the equations and formalism are basically the same in both applications. The difference between the two goals lies mainly in the values of the constants involved in the specific $f(R)$ models and the equation of state (EOS) of the central object (Sun or neutron star), but the numerical techniques and the general form of the field equations remain valid in both situations. For the neutron star problem we employ for the first time and in the context of $f(R)$ gravity a multiple algebraic polytropic EOS that mimics accurately realistic EOS in several density ranges. By doing so we avoid the numerical interpolation needed when a realistic EOS is given in tabulated form. Furthermore, we compare our results with the latest data, which includes the most massive neutron star known to date of about $2.35 M_\odot$ from PSRJ0952-0607.
