Disclosed is a process for producing a material having hydrophilic surface which comprises forming a hydrophobic photopolymerizable composition comprising a hydrophobic compound (a) having two or more polymerizable unsaturated double bonds per molecule and a photopolymerization initiator into a desired form and irradiating the resultant shape (b) with actinic rays while keeping the surface of the shape (b) in contact with a hydrophilic liquid (d) containing a hydrophilic compound (c) having one or more polymerizable unsaturated double bonds under such conditions that a photopolymerization reaction is prevented from occurring in the hydrophilic liquid (d) except at the interface between the liquid (d) and the shape (b), whereby the shape (b) is cured and, at the same time, the hydrophobic compound (a) is copolymerized with the hydrophilic compound (c) at the interface between the shape (b) and the hydrophilic liquid (d) to chemically bond molecules of the hydrophilic compound (c) to the surface of the hydrophobic shape (b). The process is advantageous in that the kind and density of hydrophilic groups can be easily controlled and the structure and properties inherent in the material formed from the photopolymerizable composition are not impaired.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A process for producing a material having hydrophilic surface which comprises:(1) the first step of forming a hydrophobic photopolymerizable composition comprising a hydrophobic compound (a) having two or more polymerizable unsaturated double bonds per molecule and a photopolymerization initiator into a desired form selected from thin film, fiber, bead, and other forms to produce a shape (b);(2) the second step of bringing the surface of the shape (b) into contact with a hydrophilic liquid (d) containing a hydrophilic compound (c) having one or more polymerizable unsaturated double bonds; and(3) the third step of irradiating the shape (b) with actinic rays while keeping the shape (b) in contact with the hydrophilic liquid (d),(4) said third step being conducted in such a manner that(i) the shape (b) is cured,(ii) the hydrophobic compound (a) is copolymerized with the hydrophilic compound (c) at the interface between the shape (b) and the hydrophilic liquid (d) to thereby chemically bond molecules of the hydrophilic compound (c) to the surface of the hydrophobic shape (b), and(iii) the hydrophilic liquid (d) is prevented from undergoing any photopolymerization reaction therein except at said interface.
