I. (adjective)
Sense 1
Meaning:
Having the quality or power of conducting heat or electricity or sound; exhibiting conductivity
Classified under:
Similar:
semiconducting; semiconductive (having characteristics of a semiconductor; that is having electrical conductivity greater than insulators but less than good conductors)
Antonym:
nonconductive (not able to conduct heat or electricity or sound)
Derivation:
conduct (transmit or serve as the medium for transmission)
conductivity (the transmission of heat or electricity or sound)
Context examples:
In the absence of a grounding connection, it is the current that could flow from any conductive part or the surface of non-conductive parts to ground if a conductive path was available (such as a human body).

Plasma that is produced using a torch and a radio frequency (RF) generator, wherein flowing gases are introduced into the torch, the RF field is activated and the gas in the RF coil region is made electrically conductive.
(Inductively-Coupled Plasma, NCI Thesaurus)
The electrodes were able to maintain a reasonable capacity because, unlike cobalt oxide, the VS2-TiS2 material is electrically conductive.
