Magnetic tape remains the primary medium for archival data storage.
However, the future of magnetic tape relies on a continuing rate of increase in data density while maintaining the current (or better) competitive advantage in cost.
The current limiting factors are track density,bit density, and tape thickness.

Dispersion Characterization
Shear thinning in viscosity a consequence of network reformation time being greater than characteristic time of flow.
The network is weaker, but re-forms more rapidly, at lower particle volume fractions.

Dimensional Stability
Thinner, smoother tape composed of smaller, better oriented particles must be able to with-stand increasingly demanding conditions in drives and libraries — without loosing (literally) the data.

Mechanical Behavior of Magnetic Tape
Thinner, smoother tape composed of smaller, better oriented particles must be able withstand increasingly demanding conditions in drives and libraries.
This requires understanding the mechanical properties of the tape and how those properties are influenced by the materials package — the constitutive behavior of the tape and how it depends on tape structure.

GMR Heads
Thinner, smoother, more ordered magnetic layers reduce noise, but they also result in smaller signal.
Low noise does no good if you lose the signal, too!
Challenge for tape drive designers is how to implement GMR heads
THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CENTER FOR MATERIALS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGYAn NSF Science and Engineering Center
GMR Heads Require GMR Friendly Tape
In addition to thinner, smoother, more ordered magnetic layer
GMR head issues for tape:
• Corrosion (binder chemistry)
• Thermal stability
• Electrostatic Discharge
• Head wear
THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CENTER FOR MATERIALS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGYAn NSF Science and Engineering Center
New Binder Polymers• Polymers must prevent particle flocculation in dispersions.
• Polymers must protect particles against corrosion.
• Polymers must not corrode head materials (eliminate PVC, a source of inorganic chloride that may corrode the heads).
• Binder thermal properties will be more important (increase Tgto resist deformation due to hot GMR heats).
