されている。Conventionally, the primary coating layer was formed from thermoplastic organic polymers or thermosetting organic polymers, but we focused on the fact that the use of ultraviolet curable paints is advantageous for high-efficiency production of optical fiber cables. Recently, research on forming these layers using ultraviolet curable paints has been actively carried out, and some of them have even been put into practical use.

からみれば必ずしも充分であるとはいい難く、しかも製
造後から経時的に低下する問題がある。A coating layer formed by applying an ordinary ultraviolet curable paint onto a drawn quartz glass optical fiber and irradiating it with ultraviolet rays can be used to form an optical fiber that is necessary in certain situations, such as when connecting optical fiber cables. From the point of view of peeling and removing to expose the fiber, it is so tightly adhered to the silica glass optical fiber that it is difficult to carry out efficient tA separation work. However, this adhesion strength is not necessarily sufficient from the viewpoint of the most important aspect of optical fiber cables, that is, optical transmission characteristics, and there is a problem that the adhesion strength deteriorates over time after manufacture.
この低下は、特に高湿度環境下において著しい。This decrease is particularly significant in a high humidity environment.

て光ファイバが僅かの外力で切断することがある。If the adhesion of the primary coating layer to the silica glass optical fiber is insufficient, the water permeation prevention effect will be poor, and microcranks will easily grow on the optical fiber surface due to water permeation, causing the optical fiber to break with a slight external force.

The realization of this technology using ``is now being highlighted as a problem that needs to be solved.
