▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The structure has a first element (102) provided with a first major surface (103). A second element (104) is provided with a first major surface. A shell structure (106) is provided between the first element and the second element. The shell structure is provided with a first opening (107) which defines a first interface area to the first major surface of the first element. The shell structure is provided with a second opening (108) which defines a second interface area to the first major surface of the second element. The shell structure is provided with a third opening between the first element and the second element. A thermal interface material (TIM) is comprised in the enclosed space, and in direct contact with the first element through a first interface area and with the second element through second interface area. USE - Thermally conductive structure for electronic device (claimed) e.g. battery system used in automotive and aerospace applications. Uses include but are not limited to tape, liquid single component gap filler, liquid two-component gap filler and adhesive 1K or 2K compounds and greases. ADVANTAGE - The thermally conductive structure has a high degree of flexibility so that they can adapt to any unevenness and tolerance levels of the components into which they are introduced. It can be easily applied by robotic dispension and can fill large gaps. It has high conductivity if oriented in the right direction but prefer orientation in the opposite direction most often in-plane due to their shape. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: a method of tailoring a shell structure for thermal interface materials; and a method of making a thermally conductive structure. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a side view of a thermally conductive structure. 102First element 103First major surface 104Second element 106Shell surface 107First opening 108Second opening
