Abstract

A stratified-phase-separated composite comprising a polymeric layer and a liquid layer is obtained by photo-polymerizing a composition comprising a liquid and a photo-polymerizable monomer. In order to obtain well-stratified composites which may contain liquid which does not absorb radiation used to photo-polymerize, the composition and composite comprises a dye which is adapted to absorb radiation used to carry out the photo-polymerization and which selectively accumulates in the polymeric layer.
