Abstract: Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites are widely used in light weight automotive components. In this research work, the mechanical properties of acacia/polyester composites were studied. The composites were prepared in 10 and 20 wt% varying fiber loading, treated and untreated compositions using compression molding technique. The composites were tested for mechanical properties and their results were studied. The results indicated that the 10 wt%, treated Acacia ferrugenia/polyester composites showed better fire resistivity and high energy absorption characteristics.
