Abstract:
A method of making a thermally conductive structure comprising:providing a flexible member having first and second opposing sides;providing a plurality of openings within said flexible member extending between said first and second sides of said flexible member;positioning a first plurality of compressible, thermally conductive members on said first side of said flexible member such that selected ones of said compressible, thermally conductive members align with respective ones of said openings; andpositioning a second plurality of compressible, thermally conductive members on said second side of said flexible member such that selected ones of said second plurality of said compressible, thermally conductive members align with respective ones of said openings substantially directly opposite said selected ones of said first plurality of compressible, thermally conductive members and are in direct physical contact therewith, said first and second pluralities of compressible, thermally conductive members being thermally connected.
