摘要:
A data/information storage and retrieval medium, comprising: (a) a disk-shaped substrate including at least one surface with a layer stack thereon and including at least one magnetic or magneto-optical (“MO”) recording layer and an uppermost, protective overcoat layer comprising a carbon (C)-based material; and (b) a lubricant topcoat layer on the protective overcoat layer, the lubricant topcoat layer treated solely with UV radiation at a dosage sufficient to increase the glide yield, decrease the glide noise, and increase the number of CSS pass cycles of the medium before failure, relative to that of the same medium but with an untreated lubricant topcoat layer.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium having a lubricant film containing a non-phase separated additive and a lubricant a base layer, wherein the additive is bonded to the base layer, for better and faster mobility of a lubricant to ensure rapid healing of areas of the medium that have been depleted of the lubricant, and a method of manufacturing thereof, is disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of increasing the efficiency of ultra-violet (UV) curing of a lubricant thin film utilized as a topcoat layer of a data/information storage medium, comprising irradiating the lubricant thin film with UV radiation of a wavelength corresponding to a wavelength of maximum absorption of UV radiation by the lubricant thin film. Also disclosed are data/information storage media, e.g., magnetic or MO disks, comprising the UV-cured lubricant thin films as topcoat layers.
摘要:
A lubricant for improving the durability and reliability of recording media used in hard drives is disclosed. The lubricant comprises a perfluoropolyether main chain with a first end attached to a hexa(trifluoromethylphenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene, a second end attached to a bonding enhancer for enhancing bonding between the lubricant and a carbon-containing layer. The bonding enhancer of the lubricant can contain multiple hydroxyl, amide groups, 2,3-dihydroxy-1-propoxyl, acetamide, methacrylate, methyl methacrylate and glycidyl ether. Some bonding enhancers such as methacrylate, methyl methacrylate or glycidyl ether, can be further activated with ultraviolet light.

摘要:
A magnetic recording medium including a solid lubricant film containing a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited perfluoropolyether is disclosed. Preferably, the solid lubricant is formed in the presence of oxygen and longer fluorocarbon chain to form perfluoropolyether, thereby enhancing the chain flexibility perfluoropolyether and in the presence of a hydrocarbon to stabilize the process, thereby allowing process control.
摘要:
Embodiments relate to lubricants disposed over magnetic storage media, such as rotatable thin film magnetic discs. One embodiment comprises a lubricant compound of a fluoropolyether chain having one or more carbonyl-imide pairs. For example, the carbonyl-imide pair may be located at one end, both ends, and/or in the middle of the fluoropolyether chain.
