Abstract: A multi-ply, fibrous material-based, conductive structure, and a method of making such a structure, which comprises as an integral structural member thereof at least one ply having an integral, continuous, uninterrupted, electroconductive barrier capable of intercepting and dissipating any electrostatic charges or discharges coming into contact with the structure. The ply provided with the electroconductive barrier can, during manufacture, be preselectively positioned with relation to the other, non-conductive plies comprising the structure to meet the specific performance demands of a user of the structure.
