摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprising a ferromagnetic metal thin film comprised predominantly of cobalt on a substrate is improved in durability and performance by forming the ferromagnetic metal thin film as a multi-layered structure including at least two layers, one or both of which contain an organic polymer. A plasma-polymerized film may be provided as an interlayer between the layers of the metal thin film or as a topcoat.
摘要:
In a magnetic recording medium wherein a metal thin film magnetic layer and an overcoat are formed on a nonmagnetic substrate, durability is improved when the overcoat comprises a plasma-polymerized film and a topcoat of an organic fluorine compound; a plasma-polymerized film, a protective carbon film, and a topcoat of an organic fluorine compound; a plasma-polymerized film containing C, F and H; or a plasma-polymerized organometallic film and a fluorine or silicon-containing topcoat. Oxidation of the upper surface of the magnetic layer with a plasma is also effective.

摘要:
In a magnetic recording medium comprising a plastic base film and a magnetic layer, the base film is plasma treated at frequencies in the range of 10 kHz to 200 kHz in an inorganic gas containing at least 5% of oxygen. The magnetic layer is formed on the plasma treated base film by applying a magnetic composition of ferromagnetic fine particles dispersed in a plasticized binder compound comprising a radiation-sensitive modified resin in admixture with a radiation-sensitive modified flexible resin or prepolymer, oligomer or telomer thereof, and exposing the composition to radiation for crosslinking and polymerization.

A metal magnetic powder for a magnetic recording medium is provided whose particles have a metal magnetic phase, composed mainly of Fe or Fe plus Co, and an oxide layer, wherein the average major axis length of the powder particles is 10-50 nm, the average particle volume including the oxide layer is 5,000 nm3 or less, the atomic ratio (R+Al+Si)/(Fe+Co) calculated using the content values (at. %) of the elements contained in the powder particles is 20% or less, where R is rare earth element (Y being treated as a rare earth element). The metal magnetic powder is obtained by using a complexing agent and a reducing agent to elute nonmagnetic constituents after firing. The metal magnetic powder exhibits a large saturation magnetization as for its particle volume while maintaining weatherability comparable to the conventional level and is suitable for a coated-type magnetic recording medium.
