ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a curable coating composition comprising at least one fluorinated monoacrylate monomer, at least one polyethylenically unsaturated fluorinated crosslinking monomer different from the acrylate monomer, and at least one adhesion promoting monomer different from any other monomer in the composition of matter, which preferably is a fluorinated acrylamide silane. Optionally, fluorinated acrylamide silane monomers, non-fluorinated mono- or polyethylenically unsaturated monomers, or non-fluorinated silane adhesion promoting monomers may be added.
The free radical polymerization product of the aforementioned coating composition provides a novel cladding material for optical fibers. The optical fibers of the invention can be used as waveguides in communications and laser delivery systems.
