Claim 22:
23. A method of making the thermoplastic compound of claim 1, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) heating the thermoplastic resin to provide a resin melt;
(b) spreading the conductive fibers to provide two or more physically separated tows of the conductive fibers;
(c) pulling the physically separated tows of the conductive fibers through the resin melt to provide resin-enveloped conductive fibers;
(d) cooling the resin-enveloped conductive fibers to provide the thermoplastic compound in the form of a pultruded profile; and
(e) cutting the pultruded profile to provide the thermoplastic compound in the form of the pellet.
