The West Pomeranian University of Technology officially was created on 1 January 2009. Bringing a new university into existence by joining two universities (Agricultural Academy in Szczecin and Szczecin University of Technology), besides enriching its teaching programme with new fields of study and specializations, creates a possibility of further, faster progress of new technologies in technical and natural sciences. The West Pomeranian University of Technology (WPUT) has a chance to make use of an effect of synergy which originated from joining two well-known universities. Around 13 000 full-time and extramural students study in numerous facilities under the tutelage of over 1 100 academic teachers (including almost 280 professors and assistant professors). There are ten faculties at WPUT specializing in 44 fields of study: Faculty of Biotechnology and Animal Husbandry Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Faculty of Economics Faculty of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Agriculture Faculty of Food Sciences and Fisheries Faculty of Maritime Technology Faculty of Chemical Engineering
New fields are constantly created as the answer to changing economic conditions and needs of the labour market.. The creation of the West Pomeranian University of Technology consolidated research teams dealing with: engineering, environmental protection, renewable energy, bio- and nanotechnologies, polymers, economics and industry and agriculture technologies. WPUT has powers to confer the PhD degree in 17 specializations and the degree of assistant professor in 9 fields.

Innovative packaging of all sizes:
Main research areas: - biodegradable food-packaging materials (plastics and cellulose based) - properties of food-packaging materials (mechanical, gas-barrier, food contact ) - immobilisation and microencapsulation of bioactive substances and food-additives,
CBIMO expertise: - innovative biodegradable food packaging materials (cellulose, starch, PLA and
other biopolymer based) - characterization of food packaging materials (mechanical properties, oxygen,
water vapor transmission rate and biodegradability) - food and packaging interactions (long shelf-life studies - changes of texture and
chemical composition during storage, antimicrobial surfaces), - various packaging techniques (MAP, bioactive packaging etc.) - novel microencapsulation systems based on natural and modified polymers, - immobilization of bioactive substances and living cells (DNA, enzymes,
animal&plant cells and bacteria, food-bioactive substances, taste and smell masking),
- biotechnological applications of immobilized microorganisms in various processes,

Biodegradable polymers – advantages and shortcomings
Shortcomings:
- high cost
- low temperature of flow and high glass transition
- high durability and low elongation index
- poor gas barrier properties
- some other technological problems during converting
Advantages:
- maintain the environmental CO2 constant
- biodegradability
- possible formation of films and rigid containers
- good printability
- high gloss and add esthetic values
- possible formation of multilayer films
Modification of PLA gas barrier properties Typical methods of film gas barrier modification: 1. Multilayer films 2. Surface coating 3. Additional modifiers - fillers with good barrier properties (natural clays etc.)
