Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium is disclosed which comprises a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a magnetic layer containing ferromagnetic metal particles and a binder, wherein the ferromagnetic metal particles have a specific surface area of 30 m 2 /g or more, and a saturation magnetization of 120 emu/g or more and have been surface-treated with an organic compound. Also, a magnetic recording medium is disclosed which comprises a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a magnetic layer containing ferromagnetic particles and a binder, wherein the ferromagnetic particles have been surface-treated with an organic compound and the binder has essentially no functional groups which adsorb onto ferromagnetic metal particles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a magnetic layer containing ferromagnetic metal particles and a binder which has essentially no functional groups which adsorb onto the ferromagnetic metal particles, wherein the ferromagnetic metal particles have a specific area of 30 m 2 /g or more, a saturation magnetization of 120 emu/g or more and have been surface-treated with an organic compound in an amount of from 0.2 to 20 weight percent based on the weight of the ferromagnetic particles, the amount of the essentially no functional groups in the binder being 0.03 weight percent or less based on the total amount of the binder, said ferromagnetic particles having been surface-treated prior to being added to the binder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a magnetic layer containing ferromagnetic metal particles and a binder which has essentially no functional groups which adsorb onto the ferromagnetic metal particles, wherein the ferromagnetic metal particles have a specific area of 30 m 2 /g or more, a saturation magnetization of 120 emu/g or more and have been surface-treated with an organic compound in an amount of from 0.2 to 20 weight percent based on the weight of the ferromagnetic particles, the amount of the essentially no functional groups in the binder being 0.03 weight percent or less based on the total amount of the binder, said ferromagnetic particles having been surface-treated prior to being added to the binder.
