Abstract: In this work, the common fiber picked as banana fiber. Unidirectional mats were created and layered up, course of action with PLA gum network. The overlay is fabricated utilizing hand lay-up system. The Mechanical properties, for example, rigidity, flexural quality and effect quality are broke down on the created material. Too Miniaturized scale structure of the composite is examined utilizing checking electron magnifying lens (SEM). Specimens were cut from the created cover as indicated by the ASTM models for various analyses. For Tensile test and flexural test tests were cut fit as a fiddle and level bar shape separately. After that investigation is performed under UTM. Impact, Flexural and Tensile quality were watched and contrasted with base estimations of PLA polymer to see the adjustment in quality. SEM investigation was done to discover the method of disappointment. .
