Method for improving efficiency of UV curing of lubricant thin films and improved data/information storage media obtained thereby
Disclosed is a method of increasing the efficiency of ultra-violet (UV) curing of a lubricant thin film utilized as a topcoat layer of a data/information storage medium, comprising irradiating the lubricant thin film with UV radiation of a wavelength corresponding to a wavelength of maximum absorption of UV radiation by the lubricant thin film. Also disclosed are data/information storage media, e.g., magnetic or MO disks, comprising the UV-cured lubricant thin films as topcoat layers.
