Zusammenfassung:A gasket (10) for compressible placement between a first surface and a second surface is disclosed. In one embodiment, the gasket (10) has a cellular metal skeleton (12) embedded in a viscoelastic, pliable, deformable tacky polymer body (14). The skeleton (12) has multiple strands (12d), which connect to form multiple interconnected cells or pores (12b). The skeleton (12), prior to being encapsulated in the tacky polymer body (14), is typically about 75% or more void space. The void space is substantially filled in the manufacture of the gasket (10), with the tacky uncured polymer. The uncured polymer will set up or cure, and then the gasket (10) may be used.
