Lubricant pick-up by a low-flying slider is investigated for hydroxyl-terminated perfluoropolyethers as a function of the number of hydroxyl (OH) groups and of film thickness on the surface of finished rigid disks. The total number of hydroxyl (OH) groups per main chain is 2, 4, and 8 for Zdol, Z-Tetraol, and ZTMD, respectively. The amount of disk lubricant that is picked up by the low-flying slider decreases with decreasing PFPE film thickness and increasing number of OH functional groups. The results are discussed in terms of the disjoining pressure characterizing the lubricant film on the disk surface.
