Abstract

Provided is a member surface treatment method for treating a surface of a member containing a crystallizable thermoplastic resin by a dry treatment, wherein the dry treatment is performed so as to satisfy the following conditions X and Y. Condition X: γ d /γ d0 is not less than 1.0 and less than 1.4. Condition Y: γ p /γ p0 is not less than 1.2 and less than 40. γ d0 is a non-polar component of surface free energy of the surface before the dry treatment, γ d is a non-polar component of surface free energy of the surface after the dry treatment, γ p0 is a polar component of surface free energy of the surface before the dry treatment, and γ p is a polar component of surface free energy of the surface after the dry treatment.
