Abstract: A compound that helps achieve a high voltage holding ratio (VHR) of a liquid crystal composition, a liquid crystal composition that contains this compound, and a liquid crystal display element made with this liquid crystal composition. More specifically, a compound represented by general formula (Y), which has polymerizable groups and polar group(s). A liquid crystal composition containing one or two or more compounds represented by general formula (Y), each of which has polymerizable groups and polar group(s). A liquid crystal display element made with a liquid crystal composition that contains one or two or more compounds represented by general formula (Y), each of which has polymerizable groups and polar group(s).

Abstract: A fluidity modifier for a coating material or the like contains an ester resin represented by the following general formula (I) or general formula (II) (Y represents a hydrogen atom or a monocarboxylic acid residue having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, G represents an aliphatic diol residue having 2 to 9 carbon atoms, A represents an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid residue having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, X represents a dicarboxylic acid residue having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, Z represents a monoalcohol residue having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, n represents the number of repeating units and is an integer of 0 to 30, and m represents the number of repeating units and is an integer of 0 to 30; G and A may be the same or different for each repeating unit, and a plurality of G may be the same as or different from each other).
