Abstract

To provide a modified polymer substrate that has both excellent releasability from an accretion adhering to a surface of the substrate and functions for intended use other than releasability, and to provide a method for producing the modified polymer substrate. A modified polymer substrate (1) includes a polymer substrate (2) containing an organic component having unsaturated carbon-to-carbon double bonds, and an organic group having a functional group (R 1 ) arranged to provide functions to a surface of the polymer substrate, wherein the organic group is bonded to the surface of the polymer substrate via an isocyanuraic acid backbone by bringing a treatment solvent (3) that contains (a) a trichloroisocyanuric acid and (b) a compound having an unsaturated carbon-to-carbon double bond and an organic group having a functional group (R 1 ) arranged to provide functions to the surface of the polymer substrate into contact with the surface of the polymer substrate.
