It is widely known that surface chemistry of polymeric substrates directly affects their behavior for many applications, such as adhesion, coatings, printing paintings, lamination or packaging. According to the "grafting-from" method, active species generated on the polymer surfaces can initiate the polymerization of monomers from the surface toward the bulk phase. Photografting of polymers has been extensively studied since the 1950s up until the 1980s; most of the investigations concerning surface graft polymerizations relied on initiation by high energy irradiation. This chapter reviews the various techniques to perform the surface photografting modifications (according to the "grafting-from" and "grafting- to" methods) and all the photoinduced mechanisms involved in these processes. It summerizes the achievements of photoinduced modified materials, wherein the enhancement of wettability, adhesion and some useful applications are reported.
