The present invention relates to an ionic liquid, a lubricant including the ionic liquid, and a magnetic recording medium using the lubricant.
Conventionally, in a thin film magnetic recording medium, a lubricant is applied onto a surface of a magnetic layer for the purpose of reducing frictions between a magnetic head and the surface of the magnetic recording medium, or reducing abrasion. In order to avoid adhesion, such as sticktion, an actual film thickness of the lubricant is of a molecular order. Accordingly, it is not exaggeration to say that the most important thing for a thin film magnetic recording medium is to select a lubricant having excellent abrasion resistance in any environment.
During a life of a magnetic recording medium, it is important that a lubricant is present on a surface of the medium without causing desorption, spin-off, and chemical deteriorations. Making the lubricant present on a surface of a medium is more difficult, as the surface of the thin film magnetic recording medium is smoother. This is because the thin film magnetic recording medium does not have an ability of replenishing a lubricant as with a coating-type magnetic recording medium.
In the case where an adhesion force between a lubricant and a protective film disposed at a surface of a magnetic layer is weak, moreover, a film thickness of the lubricant is reduced during heating or sliding hence accelerating abrasion. Therefore, a large amount of the lubricant is required. The large amount of the lubricant is the mobile lubricant, and therefore a function of replenishing the lost lubricant can be provided. However, an excessive amount of the lubricant makes the film thickness of the lubricant larger than the surface roughness. Therefore, a problem associated with adhesion arises, and in a crucial case, sticktion arises to cause driving failures.
As illustrated in
A current recording density is about 1 Tb/in2, spacing is about 6 nm, a thickness of a lubricant is 0.8 nm, and the thickness of the lubricant needs to be reduced for a future recording density of 4 Tb/in2. A molecular weight of a conventional PFPE lubricant needs to be made small in order to reduce a film thickness of the lubricant, but thermal stability may be deteriorated when the molecular weight is small. It can be understood that the problems in reliability cannot be sufficiently solved with a conventional perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-based lubricant.
Particularly for a thin film magnetic recording medium having high surface smoothness, a novel lubricant is designed at a molecular level, and synthesized to solve the above-described trade-off. Moreover, there are a number of reports regarding lubricity of PFPE. As described, lubricants are very important in magnetic recording media.
Chemical structures of typical PFPE-based lubricants are depicted in Table 1.
Z-DOL in Table 1 is one of lubricants typically used for thin-film magnetic recording media. Moreover, Z-tetraol (ZTMD) is a lubricant, in which a functional hydroxyl group is further introduced into a main chain of PFPE, and it has been reported that use of Z-tetraol enhances reliability of a drive while reducing a space at an interface between a head and a medium. It has been reported that A20H suppresses decomposition of the PFPE main chain with Lewis acid or Lewis base, and improves tribological properties. On the other hand, it has been reported that Mono has a different polymer main chain and different polar groups to those of the PFPE, and the polymer main chain and polar groups of Mono are respectively poly-n-propyloxy, and amine, and Mono reduces adhesion interactions at near contact.
However, a typical solid lubricant, which has a high melting point and is considered thermally stable, disturbs an electromagnetic conversion process that is extremely highly sensitive, and moreover, an abrasion powder scraped by a head is generated on a running track. Therefore, abrasion properties are deteriorated. As described above, the liquid lubricant has mobility that enables to move the adjacent lubricant layer to replenish the lubricant removed due to abrasion by the head. However, the lubricant is span-off from a surface of the disk especially at a high temperature during driving of the disk, because of the mobility of the lubricant, and thus the lubricant is reduced. As a result, a protection function is lost. Accordingly, a lubricant having a high viscosity and low volatility is suitably used, and use of such a lubricant enables to prolong a service life of a disk drive with suppressing an evaporation rate.
Considering the above-described lubricating systems, requirements for a low-friction and low-abrasion lubricant used for thin film magnetic recording media are as follows.
(1) Low volatility.
(2) Low surface tension for a surface filling function.
(3) Interaction between terminal polar groups and a surface of a disk.
(4) High thermal and oxidization stability in order to avoid decomposition or reduction over a service period.
(5) Chemically inactive with metals, glass, and polymers, and no abrasion powder generated from a head or a guide.
(6) No toxicity and no flammability.
(7) Excellent boundary lubricating properties.
(8) Soluble with organic solvents.
Recently, an ionic liquid has been attracted attentions as one of solvents for synthesis of organic or inorganic materials and being friendly to the environments in the fields of electricity storage materials, a separation technology, and a catalyst technology. The ionic liquid is roughly classified as a molten salt having a low melting point. The ionic liquid is typically a molten salt having a melting point of 100° C. or lower, among the above-mentioned molten salts. The important properties of the ionic liquid used as a lubricant are low volatility, inflammability, thermal stability, and an excellent dissolving performance.
For example, abrasion and wear of a surface of a metal or ceramic may be reduced by using a certain ionic liquid compared to a conventional hydrocarbon-based lubricant. For example, there is a report that, in the case where an imidazole cation-based ionic liquid is synthesized by substituting with a fluoroalkyl group, and tetrafluoroboric acid salt or hexafluorophosphoric acid salt of alkyl imidazolium is used for steel, aluminium, copper, single crystal SiO2, silicon, or sialon ceramics (Si—Al—O—N), tribological properties more excellent than those of cyclic phosphazene (X-1P) or PFPE are exhibited. Moreover, there is a report that an ammonium-based ionic liquid reduces frictions more than a base oil in the region of elastohydrodynamic to boundary lubrication. Moreover, effects of the ionic liquid as an additive for a base oil have been studied, and a chemical or tribochemical reaction of the ionic liquid has been researched to understand lubricating systems. However, there are a few application examples of the ionic liquid to magnetic recording media. For example, NPL 5 reports an ionic liquid of imidazole-based tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate. However, NPL 5 just indicates its potential but does not refer to specific tribological properties.
Among the ionic liquids, a perfluorooctanoic acid alkyl ammonium salt is a protic ionic liquid (PIL), and has been reported as having a significant effect of reducing frictions of magnetic recording media compared to Z-DOL mentioned above (see, for example, PTLs 1 and 2, and NPLs 6 to 8).
However, the above-mentioned perfluorocarboxylic acid ammonium salts have weak interaction between a cation and an anion in the reaction represented by the following reaction formula (A). According to Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium of the reaction is sifted to the left side at a high temperature, and the perfluorocarboxylic acid ammonium salt becomes a dissociated neutral compound and hence thermal stability is deteriorated. Specifically, protons are transferred at a high temperature, the equilibrium is sifted to neutral substance and dissociation occurs (see, for example, NPL 9). In other words, thermal stability at a high temperature will be degraded.

Meanwhile, the limit of a surface recording density of a hard disk is said to be from 1 Tb/in2 to 2.5 Tb/in2. Currently, the surface recording density is getting close to the limit, but developments of technology for increasing capacities have been actively conducted with a reduction in particle size of magnetic particles as a premise. As the technology for increasing capacities, there are a reduction in an effective flying height and introduction of Shingle Write (BMP).
Moreover, there is “thermally-assisted magnetic recording (heat assisted magnetic recording)” as the next-generation recording technology. The thermally-assisted magnetic recording is schematically illustrated in
A protic ionic liquid forms ions as described above, and is typically a material having high thermal stability. The equilibrium of the protic ionic liquid is represented by Scheme 1 below.
In Scheme 1, HA is Bronsted acid and B is Bronsted base. The acid (HA) and the base (B) are reacted as in Scheme 1 to generate a salt (A−HB+).
In Scheme 1, a dissociation constant Ka1 of the acid and a dissociation constant Kb2 of the base can be represented by Scheme 2 below in the form including the density.
The Ka1 and Kb2 largely differ depending on a substance. In some cases, the Ka1 and Kb2 may be large digits, which is inconvenient for handling. Therefore, it is often represented with a negative logarithm. Specifically, the acid dissociation constant is determined as −log10Ka1=pKa1 as represented by Scheme 3 below. Clearly, acidity is stronger, as the pKa1 is smaller.
A difference ΔpKa of the acid dissociation constants of the acid and the base is discussed. The acid-base reaction is influenced by both acidity of the acid and basicity of the base (or acidity of conjugate acid of the base), and the difference ΔpKa in the acidity of the acid and base is represented by Scheme 3 below.
It is indicated that the ΔpKa increases, as the base concentration [A−HB+] increases relative to the acid concentration and the base concentration.
Meanwhile, Yoshizawa et al. have reported that proton transfer tends to occur when a difference (ΔpKa) of pKa of acid and base is 10 or greater,
[AH]+[B]⇄[A−HB+]
the equilibrium of the formula above is sifted to the ion side (right side), and stability is enhanced further (see, for example, NPL 9). Moreover, Watanabe et al. has reported that proton transfer and thermal stability of a protic ionic liquid largely depend on ΔpKa, and thermal stability of the ionic liquid is significantly improved by using the acid with which the difference in pKa between the acid and the base (ΔpKa) is 15 or greater when DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene) is used as a base (see, for example, NPL 10). Moreover, Kondo et al. have reported that a perfluorooctanesulfonic acid octadecyl ammonium salt-based protic ionic liquid having large ΔpKa improves durability of a magnetic recording medium (see, for example, NPL 11 and PTL 3). In the recent report of Kondo et al. related to thermal resistance of an ionic liquid, it has been reported that a decomposition temperature increases with up to certain degree of ΔpKa, and the decomposition temperature is not increased any further even when ΔpKa is increased from the above-described point (see, for example, NPLs 12 and 13). Moreover, it is reported that a pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid including germinal dication may improve thermal resistance more than a typical ionic liquid of monocation (see NPL 13). As described in NPL 14, however, a relationship between a molecular structure constituting the pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid and physical or chemical characteristics has not been fully understood yet. A combination of a cation and an anion largely influences on physical or chemical characteristics of an ionic liquid. A variety of the anion site is many, but the relationship could not be clarified unless the cation is a cation structurally similar to the anion (see, for example, NPL 15). For example, viscosity of the liquid increases, as hydrogen bonding strength of halogen is stronger (Cl>Br>I). However, the method for increasing the viscosity is not limited to the increase in the hydrogen bonding strength. For example, the viscosity can be increased by varying an alkyl chain of imidazole. Similarly, the combination of the anion and cation influences on a melting point, surface tension, and thermal stability, but a wide range of researches has not be conducted on an effect of the anion. Accordingly, it is possible to change physical or chemical characteristics of an ionic liquid by with a combination of cations or anions, but it is difficult to predict.
In the case where the lubricants for hard disks presented in Table 1 are considered, a polar group such as a hydroxyl group is introduced to their end for increasing interactions with the media surface. Such a hydroxyl group is reacted with and fixed on the media surface by a heating treatment, whereby thermal stability is improved. Moreover, there is also an effect of reducing the polar term component of the surface energy through binding of the hydroxyl group (NPL 16).
Also, ionic liquid-type lubricants are preferably lower in melting point when considering other applications than the applications in hard discs.
The present invention has been proposed based on the above-described situations in the art, and the present invention provides an ionic liquid having excellent lubricity even at a high temperature and being usable for many applications because of being able to be lowered in melting point, a lubricant having excellent lubricity even at a high temperature and being usable for many applications because of being able to be lowered in melting point, and a magnetic recording medium having excellent practical properties.

Embodiments of the present invention are specifically described with reference to drawing hereinafter in the following order.
1. Lubricant and ionic liquid
2. Magnetic recording medium
The lubricant, which is one embodiment of the present invention, includes an ionic liquid including a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
The ionic liquid, which is one embodiment of the present invention, includes a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
In the ionic liquid, the conjugate acid includes a group including a hydrocarbon group. The hydrocarbon group is a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms. Here, the “straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms” may be a partially fluorinated hydrocarbon group obtained by substituting part of the hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon with a fluorine atom.
In the ionic liquid, the conjugate acid includes a group including a hydroxyl group.
In the ionic liquid, a pKa of an acid that is a source of the conjugate base in acetonitrile is 10 or less.
Since the ionic liquid of the present embodiment includes a conjugate acid a conjugate base, and a pKa of an acid that is a source of the conjugate base in acetonitrile is 10 or less, excellent thermal stability can be exhibited. Since the cation site has a group including a hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms, moreover, excellent lubricity can be obtained in combination with the thermal stability. Also, since a hydroxyl group is introduced to the cation site, thermal resistance and solubility to a fluorine-based solvent are improved, and the melting point is decreased. Some of the compounds are improved in solubility to CF3(CHF)2CF2CF3 that is often used as a fluorine-based solvent in a lubricant applying step of hard discs, and as a result, production lines of magnetic recording media do not need to be explosion proof.
Here, a lubricant containing an ionic liquid may be used in a state where the concentration of the ionic liquid is about 0.05% by mass. Therefore, solubility of the ionic liquid to fluorine-based solvents is preferably 0.05% by mass or more. Also, depending on the situations where it is used, more solubility may be required. Furthermore, considering, for example, changes in use situations and storage conditions, solubility of 0.1% by mass or more may be required [i.e., the ionic liquid is 0.1 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of CF3(CHF)2CF2CF3].
The pKa is 10 or less, which is a strong acid, and is preferably 6.0 or less.
The lower limit of the pKa is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose, but the pKa is preferably −5.0 or greater.
In the present specification, “pKa” is an acid dissociation constant, and is an acid dissociation constant in acetonitrile.
<<Conjugate Base>>
The conjugate base is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose, as long as pKa of an acid that is a source of the conjugate base in acetonitrile is 10 or less. Examples of the conjugate base include a conjugate base represented by General Formula (X) below, a conjugate base represented by General Formula (Y) below, a conjugate base represented by General Formula (U) below, a conjugate base represented by General Formula (V) below, and a conjugate base represented by General Formula (W) below. Among the above-listed examples, a conjugate base represented by General Formula (X) below and a conjugate base represented by General Formula (Y) below are preferable because solubility of the ionic liquid to a solvent becomes high.
In General Formula (X), l is an integer of 1 or greater but 12 or less, and is preferably an integer of 1 or greater but 6 or less.
In General Formula (Y), l is an integer of 1 or greater but 12 or less, and is preferably an integer of 1 or greater but 6 or less.
As the acid that is a source of the conjugate base (HA), Bronsted acids regarded as super acid, such as bis((perfluoroalkyl)sulfonyl)imide [(ClF2l+1SO2)2NH] (pKa=0 to 0.3), perfluorocyclopropane sulfoimide (pKa=−0.8), perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acid (CmF2m+1SO3H) (pKa=0.7), tris(perfluoroalkanesulfonynmethide compounds [(CF3SO2)3CH] (pKa=−3.7), tricyanomethane (pKa=5.1), inorganic acids [e.g., nitric acid (pKa=9.4) and sulfuric acid (pKa=8.7)], tetrafluoroboric acid (pKa=1.8), and hexafluorophosphate, are preferable. The pKa of the above-listed acids are introduced, for example, in J. Org. Chem. Vol. 76, No. 2, p. 394.
<<Conjugate Acid>>
The conjugate acid includes a group including a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms, and further includes a group including a hydroxyl group.
A method for introducing a hydroxyl group to the conjugate acid is not particularly limited. An exemplary method is introducing it via a straight-chain alkylene chain. One example of this method is a method of alkylating the nitrogen atom of the conjugate acid using a halide, as described in the following Examples. This introduction method is totally different from the introduction methods for Z-DOL and Z-Tetraol, which are general perfluoropolyether-based lubricants. Therefore, these methods are not referred to in any case.
The conjugate acid includes a group including a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms.
The number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose as long as it is 6 or greater. It is preferably 10 or greater.
The upper limit of the number of carbon atoms in the straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose. The number of carbon atoms is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 25 or less, and particularly preferably 20 or less, in view of availability of raw materials. When the hydrocarbon group has a long chain, lubricity can be improved, with reducing a coefficient of friction.
The group including a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms is preferably a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms.
Solubility to a solvent tends to decrease if they have too many carbon atoms. Thus, the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group is determined in consideration of the effect of reducing a coefficient of friction and solubility to a solvent.
The hydrocarbon group is not limited as long as it is a straight chain. The hydrocarbon group may be a saturated hydrocarbon group, an unsaturated hydrocarbon group having a double bond at part, or an unsaturated branched hydrocarbon group having a branched chain at part. Among the above-listed examples, the hydrocarbon group is preferably an alkyl group that is a saturated hydrocarbon group in view of abrasion resistance. Moreover, the hydrocarbon group is also preferably a straight-chain hydrocarbon group that does not have a branched chain at any part. Needless to say, the hydrocarbon group may be a hydrocarbon group that has a branched chain at part.

The upper limit of the number of carbon atoms therein is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 25 or less, and particularly preferably 20 or less, in view of availability of raw materials. When the hydrocarbon group has a long chain, lubricity can be improved, with reducing a coefficient of friction.
R1, R2, and R are preferably a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms.
Solubility to a solvent tends to decrease if they have too many carbon atoms. Thus, the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group is determined in consideration of the effect of reducing a coefficient of friction and solubility to a solvent.
The hydrocarbon groups of R1 and R2 in the General Formula (A), R in the General Formula (B), R in the General Formula (C), and R in the General Formula (D) are not limited as long as the hydrocarbon groups are a straight chain. The hydrocarbon groups may be a saturated hydrocarbon group, an unsaturated hydrocarbon group having a double bond at part, or an unsaturated branched hydrocarbon group having a branched chain at part.

The number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group is preferably 1 to 10, more preferably 1 to 6.
The n is an integer of 1 or greater, preferably an integer of 1 or greater but 10 or less, more preferably an integer of 1 or greater but 6 or less.
The conjugate acid represented by the General Formula (A) is, for example, a conjugate acid represented by General Formula (A-1) below.

A synthesis method of the ionic liquid is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended purpose. For example, various types of the ionic liquid can be synthesized with reference to the method disclosed in Examples below.
The ionic liquid of the present embodiment may be used alone as the lubricant, or the ionic liquid may be used in combination with a conventional lubricant. Examples of the lubricant used in combination include long-chain carboxylic acid, long-chain carboxylic acid ester, perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid ester, perfluoroalkyl carboxylate, perfluoroalkyl perfluoroalkylcarboxylate, and a perfluoropolyether derivative.
Moreover, an extreme pressure agent may be used in combination at a mass ratio of about 30:70 to about 70:30 in a mass ratio in order to maintain a lubricating effect under severe conditions. The extreme pressure agent reacts with a surface of a metal with friction heat generated when the lubricant is partially in contact with the metal in a boundary lubrication region, and forms a coating film of a reaction product. As a result, friction and abrasion are prevented. As the extreme pressure agent, for example, any of a phosphorus-based extreme pressure agent, a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent, a halogen-based extreme pressure agent, an organic metal-based extreme pressure agent, or a complex extreme pressure agent can be used.
Moreover, an anti-rust agent may be optionally used in combination. The anti-rust agent may be any anti-rust agent typically used for this kind of magnetic recording media. Examples of the anti-rust agent include phenols, naphthols, quinones, heterocyclic compounds containing a nitrogen atom, heterocyclic compounds containing an oxygen atom, and heterocyclic compounds containing a sulfur atom. Moreover, the anti-rust agent may be mixed with the lubricant. Alternatively, the anti-rust agent and the lubricant may be deposited as two or more layers by forming a magnetic layer on a non-magnetic support, and applying an anti-rust agent layer on the upper part of the magnetic layer, followed by applying a lubricant layer.
As a solvent of the lubricant, for example, a single use or a combination of alcoholic solvents, such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), and ethanol, can be used. For example, a mixture of a hydrocarbon-based solvent, such as normal-hexane, and a fluorine-based solvent can be used.
The solvent is preferably a fluorine-based solvent. Examples of the fluorine-based solvent include hydrofluoroethers [e.g., C3F7OCH3, C4F9OCH3, C4F9OC2H5, C2F5CF(OCH3)C3F7, and CF3(CHF)2CF2CF3]. The hydrofluoroether may be used by mixing with alcohol, such as IPA, ethanol, and methanol.
The fluorine-based solvent may be a commercially available product. Examples of the commercially available product include: Novec™ 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300, and 71IPA, available from 3M; and Vertrel XF, and X-P10 available from Du Pont-Mitsui Fluorochemicals Company, Ltd.
Next, a magnetic recording medium using the above-described lubricant is described. A magnetic recording medium described as one embodiment of the present invention includes at least a magnetic layer on a non-magnetic support, and the above-described lubricant is held on the magnetic layer.
The lubricant of the present embodiment can be applied for so-called a thin film-metal-type magnetic recording medium, in which a magnetic layer formed on a non-magnetic support by a method, such as vapor deposition and sputtering. Moreover, the lubricant can be also applied for a magnetic recording medium having a structure, in which a base layer is disposed between a non-magnetic support and a magnetic layer. Examples of such a magnetic recording medium include a magnetic disk, and a magnetic tape.
Moreover,
In the magnetic disk illustrated in
Each of the magnetic layers 13 and 22 is formed as a continuous film by a method, such as plating, sputtering, vacuum deposition, and plasma CVD. Examples of the magnetic layers 13 and 22 include: longitudinal magnetic recording metal magnetic films formed of metals (e.g., Fe, Co, and Ni), Co—Ni-based alloys, Co—Pt-based alloys, Co—Ni—Pt-based alloys, Fe—Co-based alloys, Fe—Ni-based alloys, Fe—Co—Ni-based alloys, Fe—Ni—B-based alloys, Fe—Co—B-based alloys, or Fe—Co—Ni—B-based alloys; and perpendicular magnetic recording metal magnetic thin films, such as Co—Cr-based alloy thin films, and Co—O-based thin films.
In the case where a longitudinal magnetic recording metal magnetic thin film is formed, particularly, a non-magnetic material, such as Bi, Sb, Pb, Sn, Ga, In, Ge, Si, and Tl, is formed as a base layer 12 on a non-magnetic support in advance, and a metal magnetic material is deposited through vapor deposition or sputtering in a perpendicular direction to diffuse the non-magnetic material into the magnetic metal thin film, to thereby improve a coercive force as well as eliminating orientation to assure in-plane isotropy.
Moreover, a hard protective layer 14 or 23, such as a carbon film, a diamond-formed carbon film, a chromium oxide film, and SiO2 film, may be formed on a surface of the magnetic layer 13 or 22.
Examples of a method for applying the above-mentioned lubricant to such a metal thin film magnetic recording medium include a method for top-coating a surface of the magnetic layer 13 or 22, or a surface of the protective layer 14 or 23 with the lubricant, as illustrated in
As illustrated in
The back-coating layer 25 is formed by adding a carbon-based powder for imparting conductivity, or an inorganic pigment for controlling a surface roughness to a resin binder, and applying the resin binder mixture. In the present embodiment, the above-described lubricant may be internally added to the back-coating layer 25, or applied to the back-coating layer 25 as top coating. Moreover, the above-described lubricant may be internally added to both the magnetic layer 22 and the back-coating layer 25, or applied to both the magnetic layer 22 and the back-coating layer 25 as top coating.
As another embodiment, moreover, the lubricant can be applied for a so-called coating-type magnetic recording medium, in which a magnetic coating film is formed as a magnetic layer by applying a magnetic coating material onto a surface of a non-magnetic support. In the coating-type magnetic recording medium, the non-magnetic support, a magnetic powder constituting the magnetic coating film, and the resin binder for use can be selected from any of those known in the art.
Examples of the non-magnetic support include: polymer substrates formed of polymer materials, such as polyesters, polyolefins, cellulose derivatives, vinyl-based resins, polyimides, polyamides, and polycarbonate; metal substrates formed of aluminium alloys, or titanium alloys; ceramic substrates formed of alumina glass; and glass substrates. Moreover, a shape of the non-magnetic support is not particularly limited, and may be any form, such as a tape, a sheet, and a drum. Furthermore, the non-magnetic support may be subjected to a surface treatment to form fine irregularities in order to control surface properties of the non-magnetic support.
Examples of the magnetic powder include: ferromagnetic iron oxide-based particles, such as γ-Fe2O3, cobalt-coated γ-Fe2O3; ferromagnetic chromium dioxide; ferromagnetic metal-based particles formed of a metal, such as Fe, Co, and Ni, or an alloy containing any of the above-listed metals; and hexagonal ferrite particles in the form of hexagonal plates.
Examples of the resin binder include: polymers, such as vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, vinylidene chloride, acrylic acid ester, methacrylic acid ester, styrene, butadiene, and acrylonitrile copolymers combining two or more selected from the above-listed polymers; polyurethane resins; polyester resins; and epoxy resins. In order to improve dispersibility of the magnetic powder, a hydrophilic polar group, such as a carboxylic acid group, a carboxyl group, and a phosphoric acid group, may be introduced into any of the above-listed binders.
Other than the magnetic powder and the resin binder, additives, such as a dispersing agent, an abrasive, an antistatic agent, and an anti-rust agent, may be added to the magnetic coating film.
As a method for retaining the above-described lubricant in the coating-type magnetic recording medium, there are a method where the lubricant is internally added to the magnetic layer constituting the magnetic coating film formed on the non-magnetic support, a method where the lubricant is applied on a surface of the magnetic layer as top coating, and a combination of the above-listed methods. In the case where the lubricant is internally added into the magnetic coating film, the lubricant is added in an amount of from 0.2 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the resin binder.
In the case where a surface of the magnetic layer is top-coated with the lubricant, moreover, a coating amount of the lubricant is preferably from 0.1 mg/m2 to 100 mg/m2, and more preferably from 0.5 mg/m2 to 20 mg/m2. As a deposition method in the case where the lubricant is applied as top coating, the ionic liquid is dissolved in a solvent, and the obtained solution may be applied or sprayed, or a magnetic recording medium may be dipped in the solution.
The magnetic recording medium, to which the lubricant of the present embodiment is applied, exhibits excellent running performances, abrasion resistance, and durability because of a lubricating effect, and can further improve thermal stability.
Specific examples of the present invention are explained below. In the present examples, an ionic liquid was synthesized, and a lubricant including the ionic liquid was produced. First, solubility to Vertrel [CF3(CHF)2CF2CF3] that is a fluorine-based solvent was examined. The lubricant solution was used to be coated on the surface of a magnetic disk and the surface of a magnetic tape. The disk durability and the tape durability were each evaluated. Production of a magnetic disk, a durability test of the disk, production of a magnetic tape, and a durability test of the tape were performed as described below. Note that, the present invention is not limited to these examples.
<Production of Magnetic Disk>
A magnetic thin film was formed on a glass substrate to produce a magnetic disk as illustrated in
On the substrate 11, a NiAl alloy (Ni: 50 mol %, Al: 50 mol %) thin film having a thickness of 30 nm as a seed layer, a CrMo alloy (Cr: 80 mol %, Mo: 20 mol %) thin film having a thickness of 8 nm as a base layer 12, and a CoCrPtB alloy (Co: 62 mol %, Cr: 20 mol %, Pt: 12 mol %, B: 6 mol %) thin film having a thickness of 15 nm as a magnetic layer 13 were sequentially formed by DC magnetron sputtering.
Subsequently, a 5 nm-thick protective carbon layer 14 formed of amorphous diamond-like carbon was formed by plasma CVD, and the resultant disk sample was subjected to ultrasonic cleaning for 10 minutes in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) having a purity of 99.9% or greater in a cleaner to remove impurities on the surface of the disk, followed by drying. Thereafter, an ionic liquid in a mixture solvent of n-hexane and ethanol was applied on the surface of the disk by dip coating in the environment of 25° C. and 50% in relative humidity (RH), to form a lubricant layer 15 (about 1 nm).
<Measurement of Thermal Stability>
In the TG/DTA measurement, while air being introduced at a flow rate of 200 mL/min, the measurement was performed by means of EXSTAR6000 available from Seiko Instruments Inc. at a temperature range of from 30° C. to 600° C. at a heating rate of 10° C./min.
An endothermic peak temperature in the measurement was defined as a melting point.
<Disk Durability Test>
A CSS durability test was performed by means of a commercially available strain-gauge-type disk friction-abrasion tester in the following manner. A hard disk was mounted on a rotatable spindle with tightening torque (14.7 Ncm). Thereafter, a head slider was attached on the hard disk in a manner that a center of an air bearing surface at the inner circumference side of the head slider relative to the hard disk was 17.5 mm from a center of the hard disk. The head used for the measurement was an IBM3370-type inline head, a material of the slider was Al2O3—TiC, and the head load was 63.7 mN. In the test, the maximum value of friction force was monitored per CSS (contact, start, and stop) in the environment of cleanliness 100, 25° C., and 60% RH. The number of times when a coefficient of friction was greater than 1.0 was considered as a result of the CSS durability test. When a result of the CSS durability test was greater than 50,000 times, the result was represented as “>50,000.” Moreover, a CSS durability test was similarly performed after performing a heating test for 3 minutes at a temperature of 200° C., in order to examine heat resistance.
<Production of Magnetic Tape>
A magnetic tape having a cross-sectional structure as illustrated in
<Tape Durability Test>
Each sample tape was subjected to a measurement of still durability in an environment of a temperature of −5° C. and in an environment of a temperature of 40° C. and 30% RH, and measurements of a coefficient of friction and shuttle durability in an environment of a temperature of −5° C. and in an environment of a temperature of 40° C. and 90% RH. The still durability was evaluated by a decay time of an output in a paused state decayed by −3 dB. The shuttle durability was evaluated by the number of shuttles taken until an output was reduced by 3 dB when repeated shuttle run was performed for 2 minutes per time. Moreover, a durability test was similarly performed after performing a heating test for 10 minutes at a temperature of 100° C., in order to examine heat resistance.

Moreover, the conjugate acid (cation portion) preferably has a group including a hydroxyl group and a group including a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms. The thermal stability of such an ionic liquid and the durability of a magnetic recording medium using the ionic liquid were examined. Moreover, solubility to a fluorine-based solvent was examined.

<Measurement Results of Solubility to Fluorine-Based Solvent>
The ionic liquids synthesized in Examples and Comparative Examples, Z-DOL, and Z-TETRAOL were subjected to the solubility examination using a Vertrel XF [CF3(CHF)2CF2CF3] available from Du Pont-Mitsui Fluorochemicals Company, Ltd. as a fluorine-based solvent.

Then, the resultant was left to stand for 1 day and solubility thereof was visually observed, followed by evaluation based on the following evaluation criteria.
Note that, it was judged to be dissolved when the solution was found to be transparent by visual observation. It was judged not to be dissolved (no dissolution) when the solution was found to be opaque or to have an insoluble portion.
Results are presented in Table 2.

As understood from Comparative Example 1B and Comparative Example 2B, it is found that the imidazole-based ionic liquids have a low solubility to Vertrel, but the ionic liquid of Example 2B into which a hydroxyl group has been introduced is improved in the solubility. That is, it is found that introduction of a hydroxyl group is effective in solubility to Vertrel as a molecular designing technique.
The ionic liquid having a pyrrolidine skeleton was the compound of Example 3A having bis(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide as an anion, and exhibited the highest solubility of all.

From research results by the present inventors, it was found that introduction of a hydroxyl group into the ionic liquid improved solubility to the fluorine-based solvent. Moreover, many of ones including bis(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide as an anion have a higher solubility than ones including nonafluorobutanesulfonic acid.

Meanwhile, solubility of Z-DOL to ethanol, solubility of Z-DOL to n-hexane, solubility of Z-TETRAOL to ethanol, and solubility of Z-TETRAOL to n-hexane were less than 0.5% by mass.
As understood from the above, even when the same sulfonate salt having a high polarity is used, it is found that the ionic liquids presented in Comparative Examples, which include a sulfonate salt as a raw material, have a poor solubility to the fluorine-based solvent and the hydrocarbon-based solvent, while the sulfonate salt ionic liquids of Examples are considerably improved in the solubility. Considering that materials widely used as a lubricant are a long-chain fatty acid or an ester thereof, dissolution in hexane means that such ionic liquids can be effectively used as an additive due to its compatibility. Moreover, because the ionic liquids of Examples are dissolved in Vertrel XF that is a fluorine-based solvent, they are sufficient to be used for producing micromachines and hard discs. The ionic liquids of Comparative Examples 10B and 11B, which have a perfluoropolyether skeleton, have a high solubility to the fluoride-based solvent, but have a poor solubility to the hydrocarbon-based solvent or alcohol. Therefore, application of such ionic liquids is limited.
Generally, it is difficult to expect solubility because an effect depending on a molecular structure is considerably complex. However, research results by the present inventors demonstrate that the imidazole-based ionic liquids having a long-chain alkyl group have a low solubility to Vertrel and n-hexane as understood from Comparative Example 6B and Comparative Example 7B, but ones into which a hydroxyl group is introduced in Examples 6B and 7B are improved in solubility.
As understood from Comparative Example 8B and Comparative Example 9B, it is found that the ammonium-based lubricants have a poor solubility because of a sulfonate salt and a sulfoimide salt, but such lubricants are improved in solubility by introduction of a hydroxyl group. That is, it is found that introduction of a hydroxyl group is effective in solubility to Vertrel or n-hexane as a molecular designing technique.
From research results by the present inventors, it was found that introduction of a hydroxyl group into the ionic liquid improved solubility to the fluorine-based solvent and the hydrocarbon-based solvent. In addition, many of ones including bis(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide as an anion have higher solubility than ones including nonafluorobutanesulfonic acid.

The 5% weight reduction temperature, the 10% weight reduction temperature, and the 20% weight reduction temperature of hexafluorocyclopropane-1,3-bis(sulfonyl)imide-1-butyl-3-n-octadecylimidazolium were 347.2° C., 367.0° C., and 387.8° C., respectively.

Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid octadecylammonium is the ionic liquid. However, because a pKa of an acid thereof is more than 10, a binding force between ions is weak, resulting in poor thermal stability. In the case of this Comparative Example, although it is the ionic liquid, the thermal stability is not considerably improved compared to the commercially available perfluoropolyether Z-DOL (Comparative Example 10C) and Z-TETRAOL (Comparative Example 7C).

<Thermal Stability Measurement Results>

The thermal stability is higher because of the ionic liquid, compared to the commercially available perfluoropolyether Z-DOL (Comparative Example 10C) and Z-TETRAOL (Comparative Example 11C).
<Thermal Stability Measurement Results>
When the commercially available perfluoropolyether Z-DOL having a hydroxyl group at the ends thereof and having a molecular weight of about 2,000 was measured as Comparative Example 10, the 5% weight reduction temperature, the 10% weight reduction temperature, and the 20% weight reduction temperature thereof were 165.0° C., 197.0° C., and 226.0° C., respectively. The weight reduction is attributed to evaporation.
<Thermal Stability Measurement Results>
Perfluoropolyether (Z-TETRAOL) was used as a lubricant of Comparative Example 11C. Here, perfluoropolyether (Z-TETRAOL) is a commercially available product of the generally used lubricant for magnetic recording media, and has a plurality of hydroxyl groups at the ends thereof and a molecular weight of about 2,000. The 5% weight reduction temperature, the 10% weight reduction temperature, and the 20% weight reduction temperature thereof were 240.0° C., 261.0° C., and 282.0° C., respectively. Similarly to Z-DOL, the weight reduction is attributed to evaporation.
Results of Example 1C to Example 10C and Comparative Example 1C to Comparative Example 11C are summarized in Table 3, together with melting points.
As described above, it is found that the ionic liquid lubricants are overwhelmingly excellent in thermal stability other than the lubricant of Comparative Example 5C, compared to the commercially available perfluoropolyethers of Comparative Examples 10C and 11C.
Regarding comparison of the thermal stability in the ionic liquids, the imidazole-based ionic liquids of Examples 1C and 2C are compared with the imidazole-based ionic liquids of Comparative Examples 2C and 3C. The imidazole-based ionic liquids of Examples into which a hydroxyl group is introduced have lower 5% weight reduction temperature and lower 10% weight reduction temperature compared to the imidazole-based ionic liquids of Comparative Examples, and have substantially the same 20% weight reduction temperature. Therefore, it is considered that they have a sufficient thermal stability.
The pyrrolidine-based ionic liquids into which a hydroxyl group is introduced also exhibit substantially the same thermal stability as the imidazole-based ionic liquids.
Regarding ones having an octadecyl-1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene structure, Examples 3C and 4C can be compared with Comparative Examples 3C and 4C. In this case, these Comparative Examples similarly exhibit higher weight reduction temperatures by about 20° C. to about 430° C. However, the ionic liquid having an octadecyl-1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene structure has a considerably high weight reduction temperature and has a 20% weight reduction temperature of about 390° C. Therefore, it is considered that such an ionic liquid has a sufficient thermal stability.
The weight reduction temperatures of Examples 6C to 10C and the weight reduction temperatures of Comparative Examples 6C to 9C do not vary significantly and are substantially identical to each other. Therefore, it is considered that such ionic liquids have a sufficient thermal stability.
Introduction of a hydroxyl group has a large effect on lowering a melting point. That is, the ionic liquids presented in Comparative Examples are a solid at 25° C. because they have a long-chain alkyl group. However, all the ionic liquids including bis(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide as a conjugate base and including a hydroxyl group, are a liquid at room temperature. Moreover, in the case of imidazole of Example 1A including sulfonate acid as a conjugate base, the melting point is lower compared to ones of Comparative Examples. A lubricant having a low melting point is advantageous because application of the lubricant can be widely expanded to other products other than hard discs. For example, it is expected to realize an increase in output efficiency by using a liquid-type lubricant in a high temperature extrusion a high temperature forging process (Non-Patent Literature: Tribology Conference 2014, spring, proceedings).
<Disk Durability Test>
A lubricant including each of the ionic liquids of Example 1A to Example 10A, Comparative Example 1A to Comparative Example 4A, and Comparative Examples 6A to 9A was coated to prepare a magnetic disk. As presented in Table 4, the CSS measurement of the magnetic disk was more than 50,000 times, and the CSS measurement after the heating test was also more than 50,000 times, exhibiting excellent durability.
<Disk Durability Test>
A lubricant including pentadecafluorooctanoic acid octadecylammonium was used to prepare a magnetic disk as described above. As presented in Table 4, the CSS measurement of the magnetic disk was more than 50,000 times, but the CSS measurement after the heating test was 891 times. Therefore, the durability was deteriorated by the heating test. As presented in Comparative Example 5C, pentadecafluorooctanoic acid octadecylammonium is the ionic acid. However, because a pKa of an acid thereof is more than 10, it is considered that a binding force between ions is weak and thus the thermal stability is decreased, deteriorating the characteristic after the heating test.
<Disk Durability Test>
As described above, a magnetic disk was produced using a lubricant including Z-DOL. As presented in Table 4, the CSS measurement of the magnetic disk was more than 50,000 times, but the CSS measurement after the heating test was 12,000 times. Therefore, the durability was deteriorated by the heating test.
<Disk Durability Test>
As described above, a magnetic disk was produced using a lubricant including Z-TETRAOL. As presented in Table 4, the CSS measurement of the magnetic disk was more than 50,000 times, but the CSS measurement after the heating test was 36,000 times. Therefore, the durability was deteriorated by the heating test.
Results of Example 1D to Example 10D and Comparative Example 1D to Comparative Example 11D are summarized in Table 4.

Results of Examples 1E to 10E and Comparative Examples 1E to 11E are summarized in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
In Tables, “>60” of the still durability denotes more than 60 minutes.
In Tables, “>200” of the shuttle durability denotes more than 200 times.
The following facts can be confirmed.
It was found that the magnetic tape to which the lubricant including each of the ionic liquids of Example 1A to Example 10A was applied had excellent friction properties, still durability, and shuttle durability.
It was found that the magnetic tape to which the lubricant including each of the ionic liquids of Comparative Example 1A to Comparative Example 4A and Comparative Examples 6A to 9A was applied had excellent friction properties, still durability, and shuttle durability. The lubricants of Comparative Examples were each the ionic liquid and thus exhibited an excellent magnetic tape durability after the heating test.
It was found that the magnetic tape to which the lubricant including the ionic liquid of Comparative Example 5A was applied had excellent friction properties, still durability, and shuttle durability. The lubricant of this Comparative Example was considerably deteriorated in the magnetic tape durability after the heating test.
It was found that the magnetic tape to which Z-DOL was applied was considerably deteriorated in still durability and shuttle durability.
It was found that the magnetic tape to which Z-Tetraol was applied was considerably deteriorated in still durability and shuttle durability.
From Table 5-1 and Table 5-2, it was found that when an ionic liquid lubricant that includes an ionic liquid including a conjugate base and a conjugate acid, where the conjugate acid includes a group including a hydroxyl group and a group including a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms, and a pKa of an acid that is a source of the conjugate base in acetonitrile is 10 or less, was used, it is possible to obtain excellent thermal resistance and durability in the magnetic tape and the magnetic disk. Moreover, the ionic liquid lubricants are excellent in thermal resistance and durability of the magnetic recording media. In addition, some of the ionic liquid lubricants are dissolved in Vertrel that is a fluorine-based solvent. Therefore, particularly, when application to hard discs is considered, such ionic liquid lubricants do not have a problem in the production process.
As is clear from the above description, an ionic liquid lubricant that includes an ionic liquid including a conjugate base and a conjugate acid, where the conjugate acid includes a group including a hydroxyl group and a group including a straight-chain hydrocarbon group having 6 or greater carbon atoms, and a pKa of an in acid that is a source of the conjugate base in acetonitrile is 10 or less, has high decomposition temperature, high 5% weight reduction temperature, high 10% weight reduction temperature, and high 20% weight reduction temperature, and has an excellent thermal stability. Even under high temperature conditions, the ionic liquid lubricant can maintain excellent lubricity and can maintain lubricity for a long period of time, compared to the conventional perfluoropolyether. Therefore, a magnetic recording medium using the lubricant including the ionic liquid can attain considerably excellent running performances, abrasion resistance, and durability.
