Disclosed herein are compositions for coating an optical fiber containing an optional reactive monomer and/or oligomer, a self-healing component with self-healing moieties, an initiator component, and optionally an additive component. The self-healing component preferably includes polymerizable moieties. Such compositions contain greater than 30% by weight of the self-healing component, and/or greater than 0.015 equivalents of self-healing moieties per 100 g of the composition. Also disclosed herein are coated optical fibers having a glass fiber, at least one coating layer and an optional ink layer, which are configured to possess self-healing properties and/or stress relaxation behavior. Further disclosed are methods for coating self-healing optical fibers, and optical fiber cables comprising a one or more self-healing coated optical fibers.
本文公开了用于涂覆光纤的组合物,该组合物含有任选的反应性单体和/或低聚物、含有自愈合分子的自愈合成分、
引发剂成分以及任选的添加剂成分。自愈合成分最好包括可聚合分子。此类组合物中自愈合成分的含量大于 30% (按重量计),和/或每 100 克组合物中自愈合分子的含量大于 0.015 个当量。本文还公开了具有
玻璃纤维、至少一个涂层和一个可选油墨层的涂层光纤,其配置具有自愈合特性和/或应力松弛行为。进一步公开的是涂覆自愈合光纤的方法,以及包含一根或多根自愈合涂覆光纤的光缆。
