Adhesive bonding provides a solution for joining sheet molding compound (SMC) and metals. In this study, three typical automotive structural adhesives (i.e. polyurethane adhesive A236, epoxy adhesive 120HP and acrylic adhesive M10) were applied to joining galvanized steel and SMC to investigate the...
