Abstract
A method for making electrically-conductive yarn includes simultaneously drawing and axially twisting a starting material selected from a group consisting of intrinsically electrically-conducting fiber nonwovens and multifilament tows of intrinsically electrically-conducting fiber. The resulting yarn is a compacted, intrinsically electrically-conducting fiber material having an axial twist of between about 0.5 and about 60 degrees.
