Abstract: A radiation curable coating composition for an optical fiber comprising: at least one urethane (meth) acrylate oligomer, at least one reactive diluent monomer and at least one photo initiator is described and claimed. The composition is capable of undergoing photopolymerization when coated on an optical fiber and when irradiated by a light emitting diode (LED) light, having a wavelength from about 100 nm to about 900 nm, to provide a cured coating on the optical fiber, with the cured coating having a top surface, and the cured coating having a Percent Reacted Acrylate Unsaturation (% RAU) at the top surface of about 60% or greater. Also described and claimed are the process to coat an optical fiber with the LED curable coating for optical fiber and a coated optical fiber where the coating has been cured by application of LED light.

Abstract: A radiation curable coating for a floor comprising: at least one radiation curable oligomer, at least one photoinitiator and at least one reactive diluent monomer, said radiation curable oligomer being selected from the group consisting of Urethane (meth)acrylates, epoxy (meth)acrylates, polyester (meth)acrylates, acrylic (meth)acrylates, and hydrocarbon (meth)acrylates is described and claimed. The composition is capable of undergoing photopolymerization when coated on a floor and when irradiated by a light emitting diode (LED) light, having a wavelength from about 100 nm to about 900 nm, to provide a cured coating on the floor, with the cured coating having an external surface, and the cured coating having a Percent Reacted Acrylate Unsaturation (% RAU) at the external surface of about 60% or greater. Also described and claimed are the process to coat a floor with the LED curable coating for floor and a coated floor where the coating has been cured by application of LED light.

Abstract: The invention relates to new processes for the preparation of antireflective coatings and coated substrates, as well as articles produced by these processes. These coatings can include one or more layers made of materials which form nano-structured and/or nano-porous surfaces. The process can include applying a cross-linkable hard coat to a substrate, partially curing or cross-linking the hard coat, and then applying a second coat carried by a solvent or mixture of solvents capable of swelling the partially cured hard coat. The second coat is then cross-linked and grafted to the hard coat to produce a durable coated substrate with antireflective properties.
