Abstract
Coated conductors comprising a conductor and elongated polymeric coatings at least partially surrounding the conductor, where the elongated polymeric coatings comprise a polymeric matrix material and a plurality of microcapillaries defining individual, discrete void spaces. Such coated conductors are lighter in weight relative to coated conductors having polymeric coatings without microcapillaries. Also disclosed are dies and methods for making such coated conductors.
