Abstract
Abstract A liquid jet recording head having a liquid passage communicated to a liquid discharging outlet provided on a substrate surface is obtained, said passage being formed by subjecting a layer of a resin composition curable with an active energy ray to a predetermined pattern exposure with the use of said active energy ray to thereby form a cured region of said resin composition and removing the uncured region from said layer, said resin composition comprising: (i) a linear polymer having a glass transition temperature of 50° C. or higher and a weight average molecular weight of about 3.0×10 4 or higher; (ii) a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond; (iii) an epoxy resin comprising at least one compound having one or more epoxy groups in the molecule; and (iv) a polymerization initiator capable of generating a Lewis acid by irradiation with an active energy ray.
