A method for improving the adhesiveness of the surface of a synthetic polymeric substrate to coatings, which comprises coating the surface of the synthetic polymeric substrate with a photopolymerizable composition comprising (A) a hydrophilic resin obtained by the polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated monomer composition containing at least 10% by weight of a hydrophilic unsaturated monomer, (B) a radical-polymerizable mono-unsaturated monomer and (C) a triplet state sensitizer having a triplet state energy of at least 50 Kcal/mole, and then irradiating actinic rays to the coated surface of the polymeric substrate.

Method for improving the adhesiveness of the surface of a synthetic

A treating method for imparting hydrophilic property to the surface of a hydrophobic polymer substrate comprising the step of: contacting the surface of the polymer substrate having carbon atoms bonded with a single hydrogen atom in the molecule with a radically polymerizable compound and then irradiating actinic rays to the polymer substrate coated with the polymerizable compound. The homopolymer of the above polymerizable compound is soluble and/or swellable in water or in electrolytic solutions. If desired, the polymerizable compound may be mixed with a triplet state sensitizer having triplet state energy of 50 Kcal/mol or more or photosensitizer which produces free radicals by irradiation.
