摘要:
A protection film and a lubricant layer of monomers are formed successively on a ferromagnetic metal thin film formed on a nonmagnetic substrate or on a base of sliding member. Then, the lubricant layer is irradiated with radicals or atomic gas in the plasma discharge or with an electron beam to form graft polymers in the lubricant layer, and the protection film and the lubricant layer are bonded chemically. Thus, the reliability of a magnetic recording medium and a sliding member can be improved.
