Abstract

A magnetic recording medium having a durability improving, carbon protective film formed on a surface of a magnetic recording layer, which is in turn disposed on a substrate, and a lubricant coated on a surface of the carbon film remote from the substrate; wherein a coupling agent layer is disposed between the carbon protective film and the lubricant, so that the force of adhesion of the lubricant to the carbon film is greatly improved, thus producing a magnetic recording medium having excellent lubricity and wear resistance.
