General Background: Sandwich panels are widely used in construction due to their lightweight structure and functional efficiency, making material strength a critical factor in performance. Specific Background: Defects such as bubbles and uneven surfaces in sandwich panels often reduce product quality and are related to bonding issues between layers. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies specifically examine how variations in polyol and isocyanate composition affect compressive strength in repaired sandwich panels. Aims: This study aims to analyze the effect of composition ratios of polyol and isocyanate on the compressive strength of sandwich panels. Results: Experimental testing shows that the 70:30 composition produces the highest compressive strength of 1.13 MPa, compared to 0.513 MPa for 50:50 and 0.696 MPa for 60:40. Novelty: The study provides experimental evidence of optimal composition ratio for improving bonding performance in sandwich panel repair. Implications: The findings offer a reference for selecting material composition to improve the strength and quality of sandwich panels in industrial applications.
