Abstract
An improved magnetic recording medium comprising a flexible support consisting of at least about 70 mol % of p-oriented aromatic polycarbonamide units. The polycarbonamide may include substituent groups on the aromatic nuclei. The support has a density of more than about 1.41 g/cm.sup.3 at 25.degree. C and 0% relative humidity, and a tensile modulus higher than about 800 kg/mm.sup.2 in at least one direction, combined with a thin layer of magnetically susceptible material deposited electrically or dispersed in a nonmagnetic binder. The magnetic recording medium in this invention shows excellent running performance and has superior dimensional stability both thermally and hygroscopically.
