Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disperse magnetic powder at a high degree and to obtain high electromagnetic transduction characteristics at a high-density recording region and good traveling durability by compounding a dihyroxybenzene compd. with a magnetic layer contg. the magnetic powder and a binder. SOLUTION: The dihydroxynbenzene compd. expressed by the formula is incorporated into the magnetic layer. In the formula, R , R , R , R are each -SO3 Nm -OSO3 M,-COOM,-OH, NR R -NR R R x , etc.; M is hydrogen or an alkali metal; R , R , R are each hydrogen or an alkyl; X is a halogen. The alkali metal to be introduced into M is lithium, potassium, sodium, etc., and the halogen to be introduced into X is chlorine, bromine, etc. As a result, the dihydroxybenzene compd. is stably adsorbed to the magnetic powder surface via a functional group, such as OH group and disperses the fine magnetic powder at a high speed into the magnetic layer, thereby shortening the dispersion time and making it possible to obtain the excellent electromagnetic transduction characteristics of a high density.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve dispersibility of a metal magnetic powder in a magnetic layer and to improve electromagnetic conversion characteristics by incorporating a phenylhydroxyl amine compd. or aromatic diazo compd. as a dispersant of a magnetic layer comprising a metal magnetic powder and a binder into the magnetic layer. SOLUTION: Relating to a magnetic layer produced by applying a magnetic coating material essentially comprising a metal magnetic powder having >=35 m /g specific surface area and a binder, a phenylhydroxyl amine compd. or aromatic diazo compd. (hereinafter called as ligand) is subjected to coordination adsorption to the magnetic powder. These ligands are mixed with the metal magnetic powder and the binder during the magnetic coating material is prepared, and the mixed material is kneaded and dispersed with a solvent to carry out coordination adsorption to the metal magnetic powder. The ligands coordinated and adsorbed to the surface of the metal magnetic powder inhibit aggregation of metal magnetic powder particles, and therefore, the ligands act as a dispersant to improve the dispersibility of the metal magnetic powder in the binder.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to prevent the degradation in the output of spacing loss by the accumulation of burned matter on a magnetic head and to lower and suppress an error rate by adding polyglycerol fatty acid ester and either of bipyridine deriv. or phenanthrene deriv. to a magnetic layer. SOLUTION: The magnetic layer is formed by applying a magnetic coating material composed mainly of ferromagnetic powder and binder on a nonmagnetic base. At the time of preparing the magnetic coating material, the ferromagnetic powder is previously subjected to a surface treatment with the polyglycerol fatty acid ester and the powder and the ligand of the bipyridine deriv. or phenanthrene deriv. are kneaded and dispersed together with the binder. As a result, the polyglycerol fatty acid ester is adsorbed on the ferromagnetic powder to improve the dispersibility of the ferromagnetic powder. In addition, the coordination of the ligand to the ferromagnetic powder is prevented. The ligand alone disperses to the magnetic layer or adheres to the surface of the magnetic layer. The ligand prevents the accumulation of the burned matter as a complex to easily desorb the burned matter by making complex forming reaction with the burned matter on the surface of the magnetic head.
