Abstract

The use of lightweight materials has become one of the choices in automotive, structural, and aerospace applications today, as it can improve fuel efficiency and the manufacturing process itself. Polyurethane Foam is one of the materials with low density, good material strength, and can be applied in various fields. Its ability to react and form a solid structure in the applied medium is an added value in the manufacturing process. Lightweight materials like Polyurethane foam, however, have weaknesses in terms of strength when compared to metals or other solid materials. Mixing Polyurethane foam with reinforcing materials is one way to increase the material's resistance to applied forces. The reinforcing materials include graphite powder, PLA powder, and glass powder. The compound bonds formed from these three types of mixtures have different intensity levels obtained in FT-IR testing. The compound bond in graphite powder shows that the 2% mixture has the highest intensity, then the PLA mixture at 3%, and the glass powder shows the highest intensity at the 5% mixture. The high or low intensity of compound absorption in FT-IR testing can affect the mechanical strength of the material according to the mixture used.
