Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition for coating optical fibers which contains an oligomer capable of being polymerized, a monomer suitable to control the 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 alkoxysilane or a halosilane. Another composition of the present invention includes an oligomer capable of being polymerized, a monomer suitable to control the viscosity of the composition, an adhesion promoter which includes a compound containing a reactive silane group, and a carrier. The present invention also relates to optical fibers and methods of making such optical fibers using the compositions of the present invention.
