Abstract
Netting () comprising an array of polymeric strands (), wherein the polymeric strands () are periodically joined together at bond regions () throughout the array with spaces () between adjacent strands, wherein at least a plurality (i.e., at least two) of the strands are hollow polymeric strands (i.e., a hollow core () with a sheath () surrounding the hollow core), and wherein at least 50 percent by number of the strands do not substantially cross over each other. In some embodiments, the core comprises fluid. Embodiments of nettings described herein are useful for example, for thermal transport in thermal interface articles used to control the temperature of and/or dissipate heat for electronic components and batteries or mechanical devices.
