摘要:
An equipment and method for inline infrared (IR) ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of recording media is disclosed. The components of the equipment include a saddle for holding a recording medium such as a disc, a conveyor that travels the saddle through a tunnel in which one or more IR and UV lamps are positioned to direct IR and UV light on the recording media traveling through the tunnel. The efficacy of the bonding of the lubricant to the recording medium by UV light is substantially enhanced by exposing the recording medium to IR light prior to exposure to UV light.
摘要:
A system and method for corrosion problems in magnetic media resulting from moisture penetrating through the carbon layer into the magnetic layer by diffusion or other methods are overcome by processing the carbon overcoat to stop and/or inhibit the moisture penetration. The process involves removing moisture channels from protective overcoats of thin film magnetic media by irradiating the protective overcoat with ultraviolet (UV) radiation in an inert hydrophobic chemical environment. Afterwards, the thin film magnetic media can be removed into ambient atmosphere where it is coated with a lubricant.
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:
A data/information storage and retrieval medium comprises: (a) a substrate having a layer stack thereon, the layer stack including an outer surface and comprising at least one magnetic or magneto-optical (“MO”) recording layer; and (b) a thin film or layer of a lubricant on the outer surface of the layer stack and comprised of a derivatized perfluoropolyether-based material including at least one generally linear perfluoropolyether chain and at least one phosphite antioxidant/stabilizer moiety attached to at least one end of at least one the chain.
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 method of increasing the performance of a composite lubricant material when utilized as a thin film lubricant, comprising: (a) providing a substrate including a surface; (b) providing a composite lubricant comprising a mixture of at least one perfluoropolyether compound and at least one phosphite or phosphate compound; (c) applying a thin layer of the composite lubricant to the substrate surface; and (d) treating the thin layer of composite lubricant with UV radiation at a dosage and for an interval sufficient to reduce the surface tension, increase the corrosion resistance, increase the durability and reduce the stiction/friction of the thin layer of composite lubricant.
