COATING COMPOSITION FOR OPTICAL FIBERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for coating an optical fiber (10) that comprises a core fiber (12), a cladding (14), a inner primary coating (16), and an outer primary coating (18). Wherein the composition of the present invention contains an oligomer capable of being polymerized, a monomer suitable to control viscosity of the composition, and an adhesion promoter which includes a compound containing a cyclic structure interposed between at least two reactive silanes which are independently an alkoxysilan e or a halosilane. Another composition of the present invention includes an oligomer capable of being polymerized, a monomer suitable to control viscosi ty of the composition, an adhesion promoter which includes a compound containin g a reactive silane group, and a carrier. The present invention also relates t o optical fibers and methods of making optical fibers using the composition of the present invention.
