코우팅 및 잉크처리된 광학 섬유 결합용 방사선-경화 매트릭스 물질이 개시된다. 그 물질은 지방쪽 폴리에테르-기재 우레탄 아크릴레이트; 다수의 아클릴레이트 또는 메타크릴레이트 부분을 갖는 단량체; 알킬 아크릴레이트 또는 메타크릴레이트; 및 광 개시제를 포함한다. 또한, 그로부터 제조된 광학 섬유리본; 상기 리본을 제조하는 방법; 및 기질을 코우팅하는데 일반적으로 적용될 수 있는 방사선-경화 코우팅 조성물 역시 개시된다. A radiation-curable matrix material for affixing coated and inked optical fibers in a ribbon configuration is disclosed. The material comprises an aliphatic polyether based urethane acrylate; a monomer having a plurality of acrylate or methacrylate moieties; an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate; and an optional photoinitiator. Also disclosed are an optical fiber ribbon prepared therefrom; a process for preparing such ribbon; and a radiation-curable coating composition generally applicable for coating a substrate.
