Huh, I have 2 votes for no (you and one other), one seller that says “I don’t know” and then this:
“Other attractive properties are inherent in carbon fiber. It is thermally and electrically conductive, has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, in addition its high strength to low weight ratio and stiffness ratio. All carbon products we sell are dry woven. None are pre-preg.”

no shops in your town carry the stuff? That you could drop by and check with a multimeter?

REAL Carbon Fiber is supposedly electrically conductive. Just like the carbon inside a pencil is conductive. I have never tested the theory, though. However, a lot of the carbon fiber mat available is not real carbon fiber. It is treated fiberglass.

it has a high resistance, but it is conductive..
if you're trying to make something strong that has to be non-conductive, try using kevlar... kevlar is non-conductive.

Carbon is conductive... If i recall properly they actually use it as an electrode in electrolyisis (seperating oxygen from hydrogen in water)... I think because it doesnt erode as quickly a other materials.

Yep. Another vote for conductive. It may not matter though depending on what kind of voltages you may be exposing it to.

I’m trying to build something conductive that is non reactive… carbon/graphite works well for what I want but I’m trying to avoid having to rig some sort of matrix of rods or paying real money for “carbon foil”
I’ll have to poke around, I’d imagine that someone will have some bare carbon cloth in stock around here but I have no idea who… seems like most people just talk about doing cool **** around here and then only get what they’re talking about if they can go out and buy it somewhere, making raw materials hard to find since there isn’t a real market for them.

I can guaranty that carbon fiber is conductive having raced radio control cars with carbon fiber chassis and shorted batteries through them.
