description This invention relates to polymer coating materials for optical fibers. The outside coating of dual coated optical fibers is improved by the addition of a filler to increase the microbending resistance of the optical fiber. The coating is improved by the addition of very small clay platelets, with the platelets aligned along the fiber axis. It is found that standard polymer coatings can be loaded with enough filler to enhance the mechanical properties, while the particulates are small enough to be essentially transparent to the UV curing radiation.
