Abstract
Abstract Polyamides and polyesters having greatly improved resistance to static electricity buildup are obtained by the incorporation of about 0.1 to 20 weight percent poly(alkylene ether) esters of polybasic acid. The antistatic properties of these polymers is significantly improved when poly(ethylene oxide) esters of dimer and trimer acids are employed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A fiber characterized by having improved and permanent antistatic properties consisting essentially of a polymer selected from the group consisting of nylon 6, nylon-6,6, poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) with about 0.1 to 20% by weight of a poly(alkylene ether) ester of a polybasic acid having the formula ##STR6## wherein A is a hydrocarbon radical containing from 34 to 51 carbon atoms, m is 2 or 3, and D is a radical selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, --OCHR'CH 2 -- x OH or ##STR7## where R' is a hydrogen, a methyl or ethyl group, x is a number from about 4 to about 450, n is 1 or 2, D 1 is a radical as defined for D and A is a hydrocarbon radical as described above, provided that at least one of the D radicals is --OCHR'CH 2 ) x OH or ##STR8## said poly(alkylene ether) ester being chemically incorporated into said polymer so that at least a portion of said ester is reacted into and bound to the polymer.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The fiber of claim 1 wherein the poly(alkylene ether) ester is obtained by reacting a poly(alkylene glycol) of molecular weight 400 to 6000 with a dimer acid containing 36 carbon atoms at a mol ratio of 1.4-2.0:1 to an acid value of 15 or below.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The fiber of claim 3 wherein the poly(alkylene ether) ester is added to the polymerization reaction during the formation of the polymer.
