Abstract
Abstract A photosetting polymer composition comprises: a base polymer comprising a denatured copolymer which is produced by reacting a copolymer of maleic anhydride and an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound with a specific aminocarboxylic acid, an alcohol or a cellosolve derivative, and a glycidyl (meth)acrylate compound under specific conditions; 5-500 weight parts of a photopolymerizable monomer per 100 weight parts of the base polymer; and 1-50 weight parts of a photopolymerization initiator per 100 weight parts of the base polymer.
