Abstract: An information recording layer on a substrate provides a method of recording information by selectively opening the rings of dicyclopentadiene skeletons, thus recording information by forming cyclopentadiene skeletons. The information recorded by the method can be erased by the cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene skeletons. Information can also be recorded or erased by incorporating or eliminating a metal ion from a selectively opened section of a ring of a dicyclopentadiene skeleton after forming an organic thin film comprising the dicyclopentadiene skeleton. Alternatively, after the formation of an organic thin film comprising a cyclopentadiene skeleton, a heterocycle or a benzene ring, a metal ion is incorporated or eliminated from a section between at least two rings of the cyclopentadiene skeleton, the heterocycle or the benzene ring. Thereafter, a metallocene skeleton or a skeleton analogous to the metallocene skeleton is formed or eliminated, thus recording or erasing information.

Abstract: A medical member having active hydrogen groups such as hydroxyl, amino or imino groups at its surface, is dipped, either directly or after formation of an inner layer on its surface, into a solution. The solution is prepared by dissolving a surface active material, e.g., CF.sub.b 3 (CF.sub.2).sub.7 (CH.sub.2).sub.2 SiCl.sub.3 in a non-aqueous solvent. A dehydrochlorination reaction is brought about between active hydrogen groups at the surface of the member and SiCl groups of the surface active material, thus producing bonds ofCF.sub.3 (CF.sub.2).sub.7 (CH.sub.2).sub.2 Si(O--).sub.3over the entire surface. A fluorine-containing monomolecular film is formed, which is chemically (or covalently) bonded to the member surface and has a thickness at the nanometer level. Since the chemically adsorbed film is covalently bonded to the member or inner layer, it is chemically stable and difficult to separate.
