[0203] The present invention will be specifically described below through examples and comparative examples. However, the above description and the following examples are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is limited only to the claims. Unless otherwise specified below, numerical values ​​such as parts and percentages are based on mass.

[0204] Manufacturing Example 1: Polymer Manufacturing A five-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, reflux condenser, nitrogen inlet tube, thermometer, and dropping funnel was filled with 138 parts of isopropyl alcohol as a solvent and heated to 82°C. 20 parts of stearyl methacrylate, 23 parts of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 10 parts of acrylic acid, 47 parts of methyl methacrylate, and 0.5 parts of azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator were added dropwise, and the mixture was incubated at 82°C for 10 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 12 parts of isopropyl alcohol were added to obtain a polymer solution with a non-volatile content of 40%.

[0205] Unless otherwise specified, other examples were carried out in the same manner as above, except for the modifications shown in the table below.

[0206] [Table 1]

[0207] SMA: Stearyl methacrylate LA: Lauryl acrylate LMA: Lauryl methacrylate AA: Acrylic acid MMA: Methyl methacrylate HEMA: 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate

[0208] <Acid value> The acid value was calculated using the following formula. Acid value = [(Mass of carboxyl group-containing monomers in 1g of total monomers × Number of carboxyl groups in one molecule of carboxyl group-containing monomer) / Molecular weight of carboxyl group-containing monomer] × 56.11 (Molecular weight of KOH) × 1000...(1)

[0209] Example 1 A water-based coating agent with a non-volatile content of 0.7% was obtained by mixing 14.4 parts of the polymer solution from Production Example 1, 2.2 parts of a crosslinking agent, 63.3 parts of a conductive polymer, 0.09 parts of a curing catalyst, 0.64 parts of a neutralizing agent, 525 parts of isopropyl alcohol, and 655 parts of water. The water-based coating agents of the Examples and Comparative Examples were coated onto a polyethylene terephthalate film (film thickness 50 μm, Toray Industries, Inc.'s "Lumirror T60") using a bar coater #7 to achieve a theoretical film thickness of 0.1 μm after drying. The coated material was then dried at 120°C for 1 minute to obtain a laminate.

[0210] Unless otherwise specified, other examples were carried out in the same manner as above, except for the modifications shown in the table below.

[0211] [Table 2]

[0212] Ammonia water: 28% ammonia water TEA: Triethylamine Aziridine: Product name "Chemitite PZ-33", manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., 100% non-volatile content. Melamine: Product name "Cymel 303LF", manufactured by Allnex, 100% non-volatile content. Oxazoline: Product name "Epocross WS-300", manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., non-volatile content 10% PEDOT-PSS: Product name "ORGACON ICP1010", manufactured by Agfa Materials Japan Co., Ltd., non-volatile content 1.2% EG: Ethylene glycol PTS: Paratoluenesulfonic acid, 100% non-volatile content IPA: Isopropyl alcohol

[0213] <Peeling force> Polyester adhesive tape (Nitto Denko Corporation 31B tape: 25mm wide) was applied to the laminated material using a 2kg roller under pressure, and the material was stored at 23°C for 30 minutes. Next, the tape was pulled at a 180° angle at a peeling speed of 0.3m / min., and the force required to peel it off (mN / 25mm) was measured.

[0214] <Water contact angle> The water contact angle on the laminate surface was measured using a contact angle meter (device name: "Contact Angle Meter LSE-B100W", manufactured by NIC Co., Ltd.) after dropping one drop (approximately 2 μL) of deionized water, and measuring the angle 1 second later. A high contact angle indicates high water repellency.

[0215] <Exterior> The appearance of the water-based coating agent was visually inspected. ○: No aggregates ×: Contains aggregates

[0216] <Solvent resistance> The solvent resistance of the cured film was evaluated by rubbing the surface of the laminate with a cotton swab soaked in ethanol and measuring the number of back-and-forth strokes required until the appearance of the cured surface changed. ○: No change in appearance even after rubbing 30 times. △: Changes in appearance occur after 2 to 29 rubs. ×: There is a change in appearance after rubbing it once.

[0217] Evaluation example: Surface resistivity The surface resistivity (Ω / □) of the coated surface of the laminate was measured under the following conditions.
