Abstract
Elastomeric fluoropolyether lubricant topcoats are formed on a protective overcoat of a magnetic recording medium. Embodiments include forming a an amorphous carbon layer having a thickness of no greater than about 25 å as the protective overcoat and polymerizing a fluorpolyether having one or more acrylate groups on the amorphous carbon layer to form the elastomeric fluoropolyether topcoat lubricant directly on the protective overcoat.
