Abstract
Antistatic polymers include divalent segments having the formulas (I) and (II) and wherein R1 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 represent alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R4 represents an alkylene group having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and R5 independently represents H or methyl. Methods of making antistatic polymers are also disclosed.
