Wood-plastic composite materials were produced by mixing Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) material and bamboo fibers at the rates of 5% and 10%. The produced wood-composite samples were subjected to tensile strength and bending strength tests and the results were examined. The results showed that the tensile strength decreased by 6% as the bamboo ratio increased from 5% to 10%. In addition, increasing the bamboo ratio from 5% to 10% increased the average bending strength of each test group by 44.75%.}, number={Özel Sayı}, publisher={Orman Genel Müdürlüğü}, organization={KAROK 2021}
