Well I don't know about dielectric influences, but carpet fiber manufacturers have been using carbon in nylon fibers to control static electricity since the late 70's or early 80's. Maybe there's another source of the static?

A brief history of carpet fibers:

Generation 1 Delustered or dull fiber. Round fiber in cross-section.

Generation 2 Soil-hiding. Multi-lobal, or multi-sided fiber in cross-section. These fibers produced static electricity.

Generation 3 Anti-static, multi-lobal, soil-hiding.

Generation 4 Stain and soil resistant. Covered with a coating of fluorocarbon similar to Scotchgard or Teflon. Anti-static, multi-lobal, and soil hiding.

Generation 5 Stain resistant, antimicrobial, anti-static, multi-lobal, and soil hiding. These fibers are anionic, or negatively charged, and should be cleaned with anionic or non-ionic cleaning solutions (not cationic solutions). Dry cleaning solvents may cause the stain repellant to lose its efficacy.
