Abstract

A magnetic recording medium is provided that includes a support and at least one magnetic layer provided on or above the support, the magnetic layer including a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder and at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) below; (in Formulae (I) to (III), each R independently denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbons).

Claims (28)

1. A magnetic recording medium comprising:

a support; and

at least one magnetic layer provided on or above the support, the magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder and at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) below;

(in Formulae (I) to (III), each R independently denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbons),

wherein the magnetic layer comprises 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) relative to 100 parts by weight of ferromagnetic powder.

2. A magnetic recording medium comprising:

a support;

a nonmagnetic layer provided on or above the support, the nonmagnetic layer comprising a nonmagnetic powder dispersed in a binder; and

at least one magnetic layer provided on the nonmagnetic layer, the magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder, and the nonmagnetic layer and/or the magnetic layer comprising at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) below;

(in Formulae (I) to (III), each R independently denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbons),

wherein the magnetic layer comprises 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) relative to 100 parts by weight of ferromagnetic powder.

3. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer comprises at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) below;

(in Formulae (I) to (III), each R independently denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbons).

4. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the nonmagnetic layer and/or the magnetic layer comprises at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) below;

(in Formulae (I) to (III), each R independently denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbons).

5. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer comprises a compound of Formula (I) below;

(in Formula (I), each R independently denotes methyl, ethyl, or propyl).

6. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the nonmagnetic layer and/or the magnetic layer comprises a compound of Formula (I) below;

(in Formula (I), each R denotes methyl, ethyl, or propyl).

7. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the nonmagnetic layer comprises 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of at least one type of compound selected from Formulae (I) to (III) relative to 100 parts by weight of nonmagnetic powder.

8. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein there are 5 to 1,000/100 (μm) 2 magnetic layer surface micro projections having a height of 10 to 20 nm measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

9. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein there are 5 to 1,000/100 (μm) 2 magnetic layer surface micro projections having a height of 10 to 20 nm measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

10. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein there are 5 to 100/100 (μm) 2 magnetic layer surface micro projections having a height of 10 to 20 nm measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

11. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein there are 5 to 100/100 (μm) 2 magnetic layer surface micro projections having a height of 10 to 20 nm measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM).

12. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the binder is polyurethane.

13. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the binder is polyurethane.

14. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the ferromagnetic powder is an acicular ferromagnetic substance having a major-axis length of 25 to 60 nm or a tabular magnetic substance having a plate size of 10 to 50 nm.

15. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the ferromagnetic powder is an acicular ferromagnetic substance having a major axis length of 25 to 60 nm or a tabular magnetic substance having a plate size of 10 to 50 nm.
