Abstract: An antistatic coat of the present invention coats a surface of a base body so as to prevent accumulation of electric charges in the base body, the antistatic coat having a multi-layers structure comprising at least one antistatic layer, and the antistatic layer being disposed between the base body and an outermost surface layer of the antistatic coat. On the back surface side of a thermal transfer sheet, there is formed a heat resistant slip layer through an antistatic layer, or a heat resistant slip layer containing a conductive material. Sulfonated polyaniline, a conductive carbon black having primary particle size of up to 40 nm and specific surface of at least 130 m2/g, and a conductive carbon black having an oil absorption of at least 75 ml/100 g are favorable conductive material.

Abstract: A thermal transfer sheet of the present invention has a heat resistant layer disposed on a back surface thereof and a slip layer disposed on the heat resistant layer. The heat resistant layer contains a binder resin having a molecular structure, one end portion of which is an end group selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl and mercapto. The slip layer contains silylisocyanate represented by the following formula (1): R.sub.n --Si--(N C O).sub.4-n ?in the formula (1), R denotes alkyl, aryl or vinyl; and "n" denotes an integer of 0 to 3!. The slip layer is hardened by reacting an isocyanate group of the silylisocyanate contained therein with the end group of the binder resin contained in the heat resistant layer.
