Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical fiber including a glass fiber and a primary coating encapsulating and in contact with the glass fiber, the primary coating being the cured product of a polyrnerizable composition which includes a monomer with a pendant hydroxyl functional group which can bond with a surface of the optical fiber and is present in an amount effective to promote adhesion. The present invention also relates to methods of making such optical fibers.
