Jd. Louden, MEASUREMENT OF CURE IN OPTICAL-FIBER COATINGS BY INFRARED MICROSPECTROSCOPY, Journal of applied polymer science, 57(13), 1995, pp. 1575-1584
A method suitable for measuring the state of cure in acrylate optical
fiber coatings is described. Both the outermost (secondary) and the in
nermost (primary) coatings cure states can be determined. The method i
s reproducible and suitable for manufacturing process control and qual
ity control in produced fiber. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
