Abstract:
1. A method of producing a hydrophilic pattern-formed member, comprising the steps of: forming, on a support, a layer containing a hydrophobic polymer capable of manifesting the ability to initiate polymerization with the application of energy; forming, on the hydrophobic layer, a solid layer containing a hydrophilic polymer having a polymerizing group at a terminal end of the main chain and/or side chains of the hydrophilic polymer; and applying energy to the layers, in a patterned configuration, thereby forming reactive sites which are reactive to polymerization at an energy-applied portion of the layer containing the hydrophobic polymer and allowing the polymerizing group of the hydrophilic polymer to be bonded to the reactive sites, to obtain a hydrophilic pattern-formed member.
