Abstract
Abstract A magnetic record medium comprises (A) a nonmagnetic substrate, (B) a layer consisting essentially of a ferromagnetic metal on at least one side of the substrate, (C) a layer containing carbon on the layer of (B), (D) a layer comprising a primary or secondary organic amine containing at least one substituent having a fluorinated hydrocarbon group at the end of the substituent on the layer of (C), and (E) a layer comprising at least one lubricant having a plurality or fully fluorinated hydrocarbon group on one end of the molecule and a functional group selected from the group consisting of -OH, -SH, -COOH, -COSH and -CONH2 on the other end of the molecule on the layer of (D). The magnetic record medium of the present invention has a good endurance reliability and does not cause deterioration of such performances as the CSS durability, head adsorption and still life at high temperatures and high humidities, even when the surface property is improved considerably by decreasing the height of surface protrusions for the purpose of improving the recording density.

A magnetic record medium comprising (A) a nonmagnetic substrate, (B) a layer consisting essentially of a ferromagnetic metal on at least one side of the substrate, (C) a layer consisting essentially of one member selected from the group consisting of amorphous carbon, graphite, diamond-like carbon, mixtures thereof and laminates thereof on the layer of (B), (D) a layer comprising a primary or secondary organic amine containing at least one substituent having a fluorinated hydrocarbon group at the non-amine end of the substituent on the layer of (C), and (E) a layer consisting essentially of at least one lubricant having a partially or fully fluorinated hydrocarbon group on one end of the molecule and a functional group selected from the group consisting of --OH, --SH, --COOH, --COSH and --CONH 2 on the other end of the molecule on the layer of (D).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A magnetic record medium comprising (A) a nonmagnetic substrate, (B) a layer consisting essentially of a ferromagnetic metal on at least one side of the substrate, (C) a layer consisting essentially of one member selected from the group consisting of amorphous carbon, graphite, diamond-like carbon, mixtures thereof and laminates thereof on the layer of (B), (D) a layer comprising a primary or secondary organic amine containing at least one substituent having a fluorinated hydrocarbon group at the non-amine end of the substituent on the layer of (C), and (E) a layer consisting essentially of at least one lubricant having a partially or fully fluorinated hydrocarbon group on one end of the molecule and a functional group selected from the group consisting of --OH, --SH, --COOH, --COSH and --CONH 2 on the other end of the molecule on the layer of (D).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
247 words
A magnetic record medium according to claim 1, wherein the organic amine is an organic compound having any of the formula I-V ##STR62## wherein R f and R f , each independently denote a hydrocarbon group having at the end thereof a fluoroaryl group of 1-31 carbon atoms or a fluoroalkyl or fluoroalkenyl group of 3-31 carbon atoms and optionally containing either a phenylene group or its derivative group of 6-21 carbon atoms, or an aliphatic alkylene group of 1-31 carbon atoms, or denote a fluorinated hydrocarbon-oxy or -thio group so that the fluorinated hydrocarbon group bonds to the (Z) m or (Z') m , group through an oxygen or sulfur atom; R denotes a hydrocarbon group comprising an aliphatic alkyl or alkenyl group of 8-31 carbon atoms or a hydrocarbon group comprising an aliphatic alkyl or alkenyl group of 8-31 carbon atoms and a phenylene group or its derivative group of 6-21 carbon atoms, and having the aliphatic alkyl or alkenyl group at the tail; (Z) m and (Z') m , each independently denote a linking group selected from the group consisting of ##STR63## wherein m and m' each independently denote 0 or 1, at least one of m or m' not being zero, n denotes 0 or an integer of 1-31, and R' denotes H, CH 3 or C 2 H 5 ; and Y denotes a linking group selected from the group consisting of ##STR64## wherein r denotes 0 or an integer of 1-31.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
