Electric Field Assisted Dip-coating Process of Ultra-thin PFPE Lubricant Film on Magnetic Disks

The influence of an electric field on the dip-coating process was studied by using the lubricants Z-tetraol, D-4OH, TA-30, and QA-40. The electric field facilitated the adsorption of lubricant molecules onto the disk surface. It also resulted in an increase in the lubricant film thickness. The surfa...
