Research abstract
The objective of the project is to evaluate and to apply a newly developed nano-particale material (NPM) as an attractive substitute for polymer coatings of optical glass fibers. The NPM is both hermetic and low modulus and possesses several additionalmarits: immunity to corrosion, good adhesion to the adjacent materials,hydrophobicity, practically infinite lifetime,
