A transparent polyester-ester amide having a permanently antistatic property is obtained by copolymerizing (a) an aminocarboxylic acid, a lactam, or a salt derived from a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid; (b) a diol of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are an ethylene oxide or propylene oxide group, Y is covalent bond, alkylene, alkylidene, cycloalkylidene, arylalkylidene, O, SO, SO.sub.2, CO, S, CF.sub.2, C(CF.sub.3).sub.2 or NH, X is H, alkyl, halogen, sulfonic acid or salt thereof, l is 0 or an integer of 1-4, and m and n an integer of 1-15; (c) a poly(alkylene oxide)glycol or a diol of the formula:

Polyether-ester amide and permanently antistatic resin composition

Disclosed is a resin composition comprising (A) from 1-98 wt. parts of a graft copolymer obtained by graft-polymerizing (a) 5-80 wt. % of a rubbery polymer and (b) 95-20 wt. % of a monomer mixture consisting of 40-90 wt. % of an aromatic vinyl compound, 60-10 wt. % of a vinyl cyanide compound and 0-50 wt. % of another ethylenically unsaturated compound copolymerizable therewith, (B) 1-40 wt. % parts of a modified copolymer selected from (B.sub.1) a modified vinyl copolymer obtained by polymerizing (a) 40-90 wt. % of an aromatic vinyl compound, (b) 60-10 wt. % of a vinyl cyanide compound, (c) 0.01-10 wt. % of a monomer having an epoxy, carboxyl or amino group, and (d) 0-40 wt. % of another ethylenically unsaturated compound, and (B.sub.2) a modified olefinic copolymer obtaind by copolymerizing (e) 50-95 wt. % of ethylene or propylene, (f) 0.1-20 wt. % of a monomer having an epoxy, carboxyl or amino group, and (g) 0-40 wt. % of another ethylenically unsaturated compound, (C) 1-60 wt. parts of an imidized acrylic resin, and (D) from 0-90 wt. parts of a vinyl copolymer obtained by polymerizing (a) 40-90 wt. % of an aromatic vinyl compound, (b) 60-10 wt. % of a vinyl cyanide compound and (c) 0-40 wt. % of another ethylenically unsaturated compound, wherein the content of the rubbery polymer (a) in the graft copolymer (A) is 5 to 40 wt. % based on the resin composition. This resin composition gives a shaped article having a delustered and pleasing appearance and a good impact resistance.
