Abstract
Abstract The invention is an integral, electrically-conductive textile filament comprising from 2 to about 1000 electrically-conducting, longitudinally-directed strata of fiber-forming polymeric material, and one non-conducting stratum of the same polymeric material in coextensive union with each electrically-conducting stratum along the length of at least one of its major surfaces. Each electrically-conducting stratum of polymeric material has dispersed therein finely-divided particles of electrically-conductive carbon black. The electrical resistance of the integral filament is not more than about 10 9 ohms/cm.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
An integral, electrically-conductive textile filament having a resistance of not more than about 10 9 ohms/cm, the filament comprising: a. from 2 to about 1000 electrically-conducting, longitudinally-directed strata of fiber-forming polymeric material having finely-divided particles of electrically-conductive carbon black uniformly dispersed therein, the concentration of electrically-conductive carbon black in each electrically-conducting stratum being within the following limits: 1. For2 electrically-conducting strata: from about 30 percent by weight -- at a total concentration of carbon in the integral filament of about 1/2 percent by weight -- to about 70 percent by weight -- at a total concentration of carbon in the integral filament of about 1/4 percent by weight; and 2. For about 1000 electrically-conducting strata: from about 30 percent by weight -- at a total concentration of carbon in the integral filament of about 12 percent by weight -- to about 70 percent by weight -- at a total concentration of carbon in the integral filament of about 2 percent by weight; and b. in coextensive union with each electrically-conducting stratum along the length of at least one major surface thereof, a non-conducting stratum of the same fiber-forming polymeric material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
