摘要:
A lubricant composition comprising a first fluoropolyether and a second fluoropolyether having nitrogen containing end-group exhibits improved resistance to acid and thermal decomposition. Embodiments include a lubricant composition containing a perfluorinate polyalkylether admixed with a perfluorinated polyalkylether having amide terminal groups and applying the composition to the surface of a magnetic recording medium to form a homogeneous lubricant topcoat thereon.
摘要:
A material, preferably a magnetic data storage disc, includes a carbon layer covering at least a portion of a magnetic substrate and a crosslinked fluoropolymer layers covering at least-a portion of the carbon layer. The crosslinked polymer layer has a thickness less than about 40 angstroms, and the carbon layer has a thickness less than about 100 angstroms. Preferred fluoropolymers include, for example, perfluoropolyethers. In some embodiments, the crosslinked fluoropolymer layer has a thickness at one point on the carbon layer greater than the thickness crosslinked fluoropolymer layer at another point on the carbon layer. The crosslinking generally is performed by irradiating the lubricant material on the carbon layer.
摘要:
A fluoropolyether having a nonfunctional silane end group is applied to a magnetic recording medium to form a lubricant topcoat thereon. In an embodiment of the present invention, no less than about 70% of the lubricant applied to the magnetic recording medium forms a bonded topcoat thereto.

Disclosed herein are methods that include inserting a magnetic media into an enclosure and using a non-thermal physical vapor deposition process to deposit a lubricant onto the magnetic media within the enclosure. Also disclosed are methods that include loading a magnetic media that includes a tribological coating into an enclosure and using an electrospray ionization process to deposit a lubricant onto the magnetic media within a vacuum created by the enclosure.
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.
