A low-friction, corrosion-resistant substrate includes a substrate and a macromolecular Langmuir-Blodgett film in coating relationship with the substrate, the film having a multiplicity of macromolecules, each including a hydrophobic end and a hydrophilic end, wherein the hydrophilic end of substantially each macromolecule is bonded to a surface of the substrate and the hydrophobic end of each macromolecule resides at the interface of the film coating and the surrounding air. The film may also include planar heterocyclic molecules. A low-friction corrosion-resistant read/write head and/or recording medium includes a Langmuir-Blodgett film in coating relationship with the surface thereof. |
