An optical fiber having a coating that includes a photoreactive marking compound is described. The photoreactive marking compound has two states that differ in the intensity and/or wavelength of fluorescence. Exposure of the photoreactive marking compound to electromagnetic radiation induces a transformation of the photoreactive marking compound from one state to the other state. The difference in fluorescence between the two states provides a detectable contrast that can be used to mark the optical fiber. A pattern of marks can be customized to different optical fibers to provide unambiguous identification of individual fibers. The coating may also include a pigment, where either or both of the pigment and photoreactive marking compound may function as a marker for identifying the optical fiber. The method extends generally to marking of films, coatings, and articles made of polymers or plastics.

A reinforcing sheet including one or more layers of a reinforcing material, and a thermosetting adhesive associated with the reinforcing material, wherein the thermosetting adhesive includes a curing agent, and an epoxy-modified dimerized fatty acid combined with an epoxy terminated polyurethane interpenetrating network.

The present disclosure relates to a glass fiber sizing agent for a daylighting panel. The sizing agent includes effective components and water. The sizing agent has a solid content of 2-8%. Percentage of solid mass of each of the effective components in a solid mass of the sizing agent is as follows: a silane coupling agent: 3-15%; a film-forming agent: 68-93%; a lubricant: 0.5-10%; an antistatic agent: 1-12%; and a pH regulator: 0-5%. The present disclosure further relates to a preparation method of the glass fiber sizing agent for a daylighting panel and use of the sizing agent in fields of glass fibers and composite materials. Compared with the prior art, glass fiber products produced from the sizing agent of the present disclosure have a suitable stiffness and wet-out speed, and the sizing agent has an excellent refractive index, which is similar to that of matrix resin. Glass fibers coated with the sizing agent can improve light transmittance of daylighting panels and strength and service life of composite materials.
