The present invention relates to a process for producing a composite material. A radiation-curable water-compatible composition is applied to the surface of a substrate having a high water content, wherein the composition comprises at least one radiation-polymerisable monomer and/or oligomer, whereby the composition wets the surface of the substrate. The composition on the substrate is then irradiated to produce the composite material. Optionally the monomer and/or oligomer is reacted with a phosphite or a triorganophosphine prior to the irradiation. These compositions may also be applied to low water content substrates. |
