<p>Curable optical fiber cladding compositions that exhibit improved optical, mechanical, adhesive and moisture barrier properties are prepared from a 100 % reactive composition of monofunctional and multi-functional monomers. The preferred components of these compositions are polymers and copolymers of fluorine-containing monofunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer(s), such polymers being soluble and dissolved in a fluorocarbon acrylate or methacrylate monomer or monomers, but not necessarily those of the base polymer. The preferred cladding compositions may be prepared with or without a cross-linking monomer such as a di-functional or poly-functional acrylate or methacrylate. The claddings may also use a thermal or photoinitiator or other known polymerization initiating system and an adhesion promoter or promoters, such as acrylic or methacrylic acid, a silanol acrylate, methacrylate, alkoxysilane acrylate or methacrylate, or an alkoxy vinyl silane, aryl acrylate of methacrylate. When polymerized, the disclosed, optically clear inter-polymer compositions present a broad spectrum of physical properties. These physical characteristics may range from rigid to elastomeric thermoplastic compositions to rigid to elastomeric, infusible, cross-linked compositions.</p> |
