Flexible Magnetic Recording Media Lubricated With Fluorinated Telechelic Polyether Polymer

View page
US Patent:
42672384, May 12, 1981
Filed:
Dec 18, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/100699
Inventors:
John G. Chernega - Stillwater MN
Assignee:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G11B 578
B32B 2728
US Classification:
428422
Abstract:
Flexible magnetic recording tape is lubricated by a thin coating of a fluorinated telechelic polyether polymer having at least one polar group such as --CONHCH. sub. 2 CH. sub. 2 OH, --COOCH. sub. 3, --CH. sub. 2 OH, and --COCF. sub. 3. This is believed to provide for the first time reliably effective lubrication at 40. degree. C. and 80% relative humidity.

Lubricant System For Magnetic Recording Media Containing Isomeric Acids Or Alcohols

View page
US Patent:
45956405, Jun 17, 1986
Filed:
Dec 27, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/565415
Inventors:
John G. Chernega - Stillwater MN
Assignee:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G11B 572
US Classification:
428695
Abstract:
An improved lubricant system for magnetic recording media such as helical scan video tapes is disclosed. The resulting improved magnetic recording media comprise the usual flexible or rigid backing and a magnetizable layer on the backing, but the lubricant is comprised of an organic compound selected from the group consisting of isomeric carboxylic acids and isomeric alcohols (e. g. iso-stearic acid and iso-stearyl alcohol). A fatty acid ester may be included in the lubricant. A typical composition utilizes 0. 5 parts by weight iso-stearic acid per 100 parts of magnetizable material (e. g. , cobalt doped ferric oxide particles) and 1 part by weight of isopropyl palmitate per 100 parts of the magnetizable material. Video tapes lubricated with this new system, have shown improved electromagnetic output (e. g. , higher signal-to-noise ratios).

Stretched Surface Recording Medium

View page
US Patent:
48356476, May 30, 1989
Filed:
Jul 2, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/069328
Inventors:
John G. Chernega - Stillwater MN
John A. Martens - Lino Lakes Township, County of Anoka MN
Felix P. Lau - Woodbury MN
Leslie M. Milner - St. Paul MN
Assignee:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G11B 582
G11B 584
B05D 506
B32B 3100
US Classification:
360135
Abstract:
Stretched surface recording disk (SSR) 10 comprising an annular support 12 having raised annular ridges 28 and 42 at its inside and outside diameters 22 and 30 with a base portion 24 in between the two ridges, and an annular recording medium film 14 held in radial tension and stretched across the base portion by adhering the film to attachment surfaces 48 and 36 near the inside and outside diameters respectively. The bond between the recording medium film and the support at the inner and outer attachment surfaces is formed by an electron beam cured adhesive such as a mixture of hydantoin hexacrylate and dimethylacrylamide. By manufacturing the stretched surface recording disks with the e-beam process, significantly less time is required to adhere each stretched recording medium to its suppport, and the quality of the bond between the support and recording medium film is improved. SSR are capable of higher bit density than floppy disks of equivalent surface area and are not as sensitive to contact between the media and a flying magnetic head ("head crashes") as rigid disks.
