Abstract

The invention discloses a high-thermal-conductivity photocureable coating for an optical fiber and a preparation method and an application of the high-thermal-conductivity photocureable coating. The coating contains acrylate resin, vinyl silane coupling agent modified inorganic heat-conducting particles, an active diluent and a photoinitiator, wherein the vinyl silane coupling agent modified inorganic heat-conducting particles are 2.5wt%-60wt% of weight of the acrylate resin, the active diluent is 10wt%-50wt% of weight of the acrylate resin, and the photoinitiator is 1wt%-10wt% of weight of the acrylate resin. Compared with the prior art, by improving the type, proportion and corresponding preparation methods of substances of key constituents in the coating (including the design of integral process flow of the preparation method and the type and ratio of reaction raw materials, reaction temperature and time of each step), the problems that a coating layer formed after an existing optical fiber coating is solidified is low in heat conductivity coefficient and relatively high in thermal expansion coefficient can be effectively solved.
