Did you know that rubber conducts electricity ? Ok it's conductivity is 10^-14 s-m, but if faced with a kragagooogle volt of potential, it will conduct. Carbon fibre conducts rather better... which can be a worry if you are in a sail boat in a thunderstorm.. but to be a useful conductor we are looking for 10^6 s-m or better, better than, or close to copper. What does this stuff do? The article does not relate.
