Abstract

There is disclosed a method for producing polymer articles having highly functionalized surfaces excellent in biocompatibility, by irradiating the surfaces of a polymer article with an ultraviolet laser beam in a solution containing a biopolymer. According to this method, a polymer article that has surfaces with biocompatibility, can be produced.
