Abstract
A hydrophilic copolymer that can form a surface lubricious layer exhibiting superior lubricating property and durability (lubrication retaining property), is provided. A hydrophilic copolymer having a good solvent solubility is provided. A hydrophilic copolymer is provided containing: structural units derived from a polymerizable monomer (A) having a sulfobetaine structure; structural units derived from a polymerizable monomer (B) having at least one group selected from the group consisting of a sulfonic acid group (—SO3H), a sulfuric acid group (—OSO3H), a sulfurous acid group (—OSO2H), and groups of salts thereof; and structural units derived from a polymerizable monomer (C) having a photoreactive group.
