Corrosion Resistance of Next Generation Magnetic Disk (2)

―Synthesis and Properties of Novel Lubricant for Magnetic Disk towards Improved Anti-corrosion ―

Abstract

Novel lubricant with corrosion inhibiting benzotriazole groups was designed and synthesized to secure reliability of next generation bit patterned media (BPM). The novel lubricant exhibited excellent anti-corrosion ability compared to those of the conventional lubricants. Furthermore, the novel lubricant could be a good candidate for thermal assisted magnetic recording (TAR) because of its high thermal durability.
