     unsaturated polyester resin (upr) was synthesized from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (pet) which acted as a matrix for the preparation of upr/empty fruit bunch fibers (efb) composite. chemical recycling on fine pieces of pet bottles were conducted through glycolysis process using ethylene glycol. the unsaturated polyester resin (upr) was then prepared by reacting the glycolysed product with maleic anhydride. ftir analysis of glycolyzed product and prepared upr showed that cross-links between unsaturated polyester chain and styrene monomer occurred at the unsaturated sites which resulted in the forming of cross-linking network. the preparation of upr/efb composite was carried out by adding efb into prepared upr matrix. the effects of surface treatment on efb with sodium hydroxide solution (naoh), silane coupling agent and maleic anhydride (ma) were then studied. the experimental results showed that treated efb have higher values of tensile and impact strength compared with untreated efb. the best results were obtained for silane treatment followed by ma and naoh treatments where the tensile strength was increased by about 21%, 18% and 13% respectively. sem micrographs of the tensile fracture surfaces of upr/efb composite also proved that treatment on efb has increased the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and upr matrix compared to the untreated upr/efb composite.
