TI  - Analysis of Selected Properties of Injection Moulded Sustainable Biocomposites 
      from Poly(butylene succinate) and Wheat Bran.

AB  - The paper presents a procedure of the manufacturing and complex analysis of the 
      properties of injection mouldings made of polymeric composites based on the 
      poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) matrix with the addition of a natural filler in 
      the form of wheat bran (WB). The scope of the research included measurements of 
      processing shrinkage and density, analysis of the chemical structure, 
      measurements of the thermal and thermo-mechanical properties (Differential 
      Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG), Heat Deflection 
      Temperature (HDT), and Vicat Softening Temperature (VST)), and measurements of 
      the mechanical properties (hardness, impact strength, and static tensile test). 
      The measurements were performed using design of experiment (DOE) methods, which 
      made it possible to determine the investigated relationships in the form of 
      polynomials and response surfaces. The mass content of the filler and the 
      extruder screw speed during the production of the biocomposite granulate, which 
      was used for the injection moulding of the test samples, constituted the variable 
      factors adopted in the DOE. The study showed significant differences in the 
      processing, thermal, and mechanical properties studied for individual systems of 
      the DOE.
