Abstract

Provided are: an antistatic agent which is capable of imparting excellent antistatic effect in a small amount and has sufficient persistence and wiping resistance; an antistatic agent composition; an antistatic resin composition; and a molded article.
The antistatic agent comprises a polymer compound (E) having a structure in which a block polymer (C) and a polyhydric alcohol compound (D) are bound via an ester bond formed by a carboxyl group of the block polymer (C) and a hydroxyl group of the polyhydric alcohol compound (D), the block polymer (C) having a structure comprising carboxyl groups at both ends, in which structure a block constituted by a polyester (A) having carboxyl groups at both ends and a block constituted by a compound (B) having hydroxyl groups at both ends are repeatedly and alternately bound via ester bonds formed by the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, and the polyhydric alcohol compound (D) comprising three or more hydroxyl groups.

First claim

1 . An antistatic agent, characterized by comprising a polymer compound (E) having a structure in which a block polymer (C) and a polyhydric alcohol compound (D) are bound via an ester bond formed by a carboxyl group of said block polymer (C) and a hydroxyl group of said polyhydric alcohol compound (D),
said block polymer (C) having a structure comprising carboxyl groups at both ends, in which structure a block constituted by a polyester (A) having carboxyl groups at both ends and a block constituted by a compound (B) having hydroxyl groups at both ends are repeatedly and alternately bound via ester bonds formed by said carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, and said polyhydric alcohol compound (D) comprising three or more hydroxyl groups.

2 . The antistatic agent according to claim 1 , wherein said polymer compound (E) further comprises an ester bond formed by a carboxyl group of said polyester (A) having carboxyl groups at both ends and a hydroxyl group of said polyhydric alcohol compound (D).

3 . The antistatic agent according to claim 1 , wherein
said polyester (A) has a structure in which a residue obtained by removing a carboxyl group from an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and a residue obtained by removing a hydroxyl group from a diol are repeatedly and alternately bound via ester bonds, and said compound (B) having hydroxyl groups at both ends comprises at least one group represented by the following Formula (1).
—CH 2 —CH 2 —O—  (1)

4 . The antistatic agent according to claim 3 , wherein said compound (B) having hydroxyl groups at both ends is a polyethylene glycol.

5 . The antistatic agent according to claim 1 , wherein
said block constituted by said polyester (A) has a number-average molecular weight of 800 to 8,000 in terms of polystyrene, said block constituted by said compound (B) having hydroxyl groups at both ends has a number-average molecular weight of 400 to 6,000 in terms of polystyrene, and said block polymer (C) has a number-average molecular weight of 5,000 to 25,000 in terms of polystyrene.

6 . An antistatic agent composition, characterized by further comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of alkali metal salts and Group II element salts in the antistatic agent according to claim 1 .

7 . An antistatic resin composition, characterized by comprising the antistatic agent according to claim 1 in a thermoplastic resin.

8 . An antistatic resin composition, characterized by comprising the antistatic agent composition according to claim 6 in a thermoplastic resin.

9 . The antistatic resin composition according to claim 7 , wherein said thermoplastic resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyolefin-based resins and polystyrene-based resins.

10 . The antistatic resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein said thermoplastic resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyolefin-based resins and polystyrene-based resins.

11 . The antistatic resin composition according to claim 7 , wherein the mass ratio of said thermoplastic resin and said antistatic agent is in a range of 99/1 to 40/60.

12 . The antistatic resin composition according to claim 8 , wherein the mass ratio of said thermoplastic resin and said antistatic agent composition is in a range of 99/1 to 40/60.

13 . A molded article, characterized by being composed of the antistatic resin composition according to claim 7 .

14 . A molded article, characterized by being composed of the antistatic resin composition according to claim 8 .
