Abstract
In this study, polymer composite specimens were produced by using glass fiber and polyester reinforced waste banana fibers and PET bottle. Initially, a mold was prepared in order to produce the composite specimens. Predetermined amounts of glass fiber and polyester including waste banana and PET bottle were used to produce the composites. The produced composite specimens were subjected to tensile tests. Additionally, macrostructure of the composites were also examined. The obtained results are discussed in this study.
