Abstract: The blood flow channel sections of an oxygenator and a blood resevoir are hydrophilized by treatment with an acid, an albumin solution, polyhydroxy methacrylate, corona discharge, plasma or ozone, so that it has highly improved weltability by the priming liquid and the blood to prevent blood foaming. The blood flow channel sections of a medical instrument may be additionally hydrophilized by treatment with a polymer containing hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate or in addition thereto a poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene) block polymer.

Abstract: An ultraviolet curing antifogging agent is disclosed. The composition includes block copolymer (a) having a hydrophilic polymer segment (a1) and a hydrophobic polymer segment (a2). A polar solvent (c) is provided in which the hydrophilic polymer segment (a1) can easily be dissolved while the hydrophobic polymer segment (a2) can not. It further includes a photopolymerizable compound (b), and a photopolymerization initiator (d). The block copolymer (a) contains at least one hydrophilic monomer selected from the group of: a (meth) acrylamide compound represented by the general formula: CH.sub.2 .dbd.CR.sub.1 CONR.sub.2 R.sub.3 ; a cyclic (meth)acrylamide compound represented by the general formula ##STR1## and a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate. Further, the hydrophilic polymer segment (a1) is formed by a radically polymerizable monomer having a functional group such as glycidyl group.

Abstract: The blood flow channel sections of an oxygenator and a blood reservoir are hydrophilized by treatment with an acid, an albumin solution, polyhydroxy methacrylate, corona discharge, plasma or ozone, so that it has highly improved wettability by the priming liquid and the blood to prevent blood foaming. The blood flow channel sections of a medical instrument may be additionally hydrophilized by treatment with a polymer containing hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate or in addition thereto a poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene) block polymer.

Abstract: An anti-fogging resin film-forming composition, comprising a block or graft copolymer and a surfactant, each of which block and graft copolymers consists of a hydrophilic polymer segment and a hydrophobic polymer segment having specifically limited monomer compositions, is disclosed. A coating film formed on a matrix surface from the composition has a durable excellent anti-fogging property and having high adhesion to the matrix surface and high strength.

Abstract: A cured unsaturated polyester resin or vinyl ester resin having excellent water resistance, weather resistance, stain resistance and anti-block property can be obtained by curing an unsaturated polyester resin or vinyl ester resin together with a fluorine-containing block copolymer consisting of a polymer portion having fluorine-containing groups and a polymer portion compatible with the unsaturated polyester resin or vinyl ester resin.

Abstract: The surface of a polymer material is modified by adding to the material a block copolymer. The block copolymer has a hydrophilic polymer portion and a polymer portion which is compatible with the polymer material to be modified. The block copolymer can be easily synthesized in the presence of a polymeric peroxide and can easily and permanently modify the surface of the polymer material.
