In an uncured state, the composition includes (a) an acrylic copolymer containing a backbone and at least one side chain linked to the backbone, the at least one side group having at least one (meth)acryloyl group, the backbone having a glass transition temperature of about 40.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C. and a weight-average molecular weight of about 10,000 to about 200,000; (b) a compound other than the copolymer (a), the compound having at least three (meth)acryloyl groups; and a photopolymerization initiator. The at least one (meth)acryloyl group is preferably linked to the backbone by a reacted glycidyl group.
