Three-dimensional article and method of making the same

Abstract

Three-dimensional polymeric article () having first () and second () opposed major surfaces, a base body () having a first dimension, a second dimension perpendicular to the first dimension, and a thickness, wherein the thickness is orthogonal to the first and second dimensions, wherein the base body () comprises a plurality of alternating, adjacent first () and second () polymeric regions along the first dimension, wherein the second dimensions of the first () and second () regions extend at least partially across the second dimensions, wherein the first regions () have a first crosslink density, wherein the second regions () have a second crosslink density, wherein the second crosslink density of the second regions () are less than the first crosslink density of the first regions (), wherein the first and second regions extend perpendicularly in two directions from a central plane () in the base body () parallel to the first and second dimensions of the polymeric article (), and wherein the second regions () extend in each of said two directions further than does the first regions (). Embodiments of the three-dimensional polymeric article described herein are useful for providing a dual sided, textured wrapping film such that greater grip is realized both on an item wrapped by the film and the wrapped item itself.
