Abstract
Electrically conductive fiber is made from a multicomponent filament having a suffusible component present at some or all of the periphery of the filament, and an impervious component that is substantially impervious to a suffusion coating solution. Finely-divided, electrically conductive particles suffuse into a surface of the suffusible component to render an electrical resistance in the filament of not more than about 10.sup.9 ohms/cm but do not significantly suffuse into the impervious component. The multicomponent fiber has finely-divided, electrically conductive particles suffused into the suffusible component but not significantly into the impervious component.
