Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of thermal interface materials with reinforcement for abrasion resistance and/or suitable for use between sliding components.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein:\n the method includes providing the reinforcement along one or more edge or perimeter portions of the thermal interface material that are parallel and/or perpendicular to a direction in which the second component is slidable relative to the first component; and/or the thermal interface material includes edges defining an outer perimeter of the thermal interface material, and the method includes providing the reinforcement along each said edge of the thermal interface material such that the reinforcement is along an entirety of the outer perimeter of the thermal interface material and thereby generally surrounds the thermal interface material; and/or providing the reinforcement comprises applying first and second reinforcement portions along the first component that are respectively parallel and perpendicular to a direction in which the second component is slidable relative to the first component, whereby the first and second reinforcement portions provide resistance against abrasion from kinetic friction when the thermal interface material is slid relatively against a surface of the second component.
