Apparatus, systems, and methods that provide coats on a glass optical fiber including of an inner layer and an outer layer. The method includes two steps. First, a conductive polymer coating is applied to the optical fiber as it is being produced. Second, a protective coating is applied to that conductive polymer coating. The conductive polymer coating is applied immediately after the fiber is drawn from preform to fiber.

A hard coating composition includes a silica-silsesquioxane-based resin, a photoinitiator, and a diluting monomer. The diluting monomer includes at least one of a 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer, a tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylic acid monomer, an isobornyl acrylate monomer, a cyclic trimethylolpropane formal acrylate monomer, and an acryloylmorpholine monomer.

An article includes a glass substrate including two main faces defining two main surfaces separated by edges and a temporary protective layer comprising an organic polymer matrix deposited on at least one portion of a main surface of the glass substrate, wherein the temporary protective layer has a rough surface defined by a surface roughness parameter Sa, corresponding to the arithmetic mean height of the profile of the surface, of greater than 0.2 μm.

A coated glass article includes a glass article comprising a glass having a surface. The surface has an adhesion promoting region comprising a nanostructure formed at the surface of the glass. The adhesion promoting region is constructed of materials that are the same as one or more constituents of a glass composition of the glass. The coated glass article further includes a coating disposed on the adhesion promoting region formed at the surface of the glass. The coating incudes one or more polymer coating materials. The adhesion promoting region improves adhesion of the coating to the glass while also eliminating the use of titania or other adhesion promoting compounds that can adversely affect the optical properties of the coatings.
