Abstract

The invention relates to fibers coated with a hydrophobic material based on an epoxidized polydiene oligomer. This coating results from the photopolymerization of a composition comprising at least one expoxidized polydiene oligomer, at least one photoinitiator salt and optionally a reactive diluent. The invention relates in particular to optical fibers.
