| Abstract;A material system has been developed to achieve the strength and durability required of a truck while maintaining the design flexibility required to produce a multi-piece truck bed with lockable under-floor storage. This system consists of a new structural SMC, a 2-part structural adhesive, and a spatter-applied 2K urethane coating. Material targets were developed considering both the particular usage of a truck bed and the over-arching goals of light-weight and excellent appearance. Each component was formulated to balance these requirements and validated through comprehensive specification tests including static strength, chemical and temperature durability, and other usage conditions.
