Provided is a means capable of realizing a surface-roughening method for modifying the surface of a resin molded article to form a surficial layer, such as a coating or plating, or to impart a function derived from the surface configuration. The method comprises adding a resin composition and performing a post-treatment and is thus simpler and easier than conventional methods. The resin composition is a composition for resin surface roughening that contains an aliphatic polycarbonate and an alkali metal salt.

The tube is stretchable. The tube is stretched by applying tension in a longitudinal direction. The tube returns to its short state by releasing the above-described tension applied in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of protrusions are formed on an inner surface of the tube. Each of the plurality of protrusions extends in a circumferential direction. The plurality of protrusions are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the tube. A pitch of the protrusions is less than or equal to 1.5 μm.
