Patent ID: 7041395

Claim:
A magnetic recording medium comprising: a non-magnetic support and, in order thereon a radiation-cured layer formed by curing a layer containing a radiation curing compound by exposure to radiation; and at least one magnetic layer having a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder (2); the radiation curing compound having a hydroxyl group and a radiation curing functional group in the molecule; and the magnetic layer having on the surface thereof a number of micro projections having a height of 10 to 20 nm measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) of 5 to 1,000/100 (μm) 2, wherein the radiation curing compound comprises a radiation curing compound (1) having 1 to 3 hydroxyl groups and 2 to 5 acryloyl groups or methacryloyl groups and a radiation curing compound (2) having a cyclic structure, an ether group, and two or more radiation curing functional groups in the molecule.
