Abstract:
1. An optical fiber comprising at least one epoxidized polyolefin based polymer coating, said coating being formed from a crosslinkable composition comprising: (a) at least one epoxidized polydiene oligomer having a first and a second end, said oligomer comprising at least one hydrocarbon chain that is substantially free of ethylenic double bonds, at least one epoxide group at said first end and at least one reactive functional group at said second end; (b) at least one hydrogenated polydiene oligomer comprising at least one reactive functional group capable of reacting with said epoxide groups; and (c) at least one photo-initiator wherein the at least one hydrogenated polydiene oligomer (b) has an average molecular weight of between about 500 daltons and about 20,000 daltons.
