Abstract

Polymer plates with high surface energy were prepared by the procedure described in the previous paper, using diethylene glycol bis(allyl carbonate) as a substrate polymer and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid as a hydrophilic monomer. By the alkali treatment (immersing in an aqueous 0.1__N__ NaOH solution for 2 h), the resulting polymer plates had good water wettability (contact angle for water = 10°) and sufficient mar resistance (the scratching hardness = 45–50 g) in a dry state, and their clarities were higher than those for DAP systems previously reported. The surface densities of carboxyl groups on the polymer plate estimated by use of the McBain's equation were 0.18–0.46 molecule/Å^2^.
