An improvement is provided in and relating to a capacitance-type record medium wherein an information signal is recorded as a variation in the geometrical shape of its surface area, and is played back by the variation of the capacitance between its surface and an electrode of a reproducing stylus scanning the surface of the record medium relatively which occurs according to a variation in the geometrical shape of its surface area. The improvement consists in the fact that at least the surface area of the record medium is formed of (1) a material composed of an electrically conductive substance and a copolymer consisting of 98 to 65% by weight of vinyl chloride, 2 to 20% by weight of an alkyl vinyl ether with the alkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and/or a vinyl ester of a fatty acid in which the fatty acid residue has 4 to 18 carbon atoms and 0 to 15% by weight of another monomer copolymerizable with these compounds, or (2) a material composed of an electrically conductive substance and a polymer mixture consisting of at least two polymers in which the proportions of the constituent monomers are the same as in the aforesaid copolymer.
In an information signal record medium of the capacitance type wherein an information signal is recorded as a variation in the geometrical shape of its surface area, and is played back by the variation of the capacitance between its surface and an electrode of a reproducing stylus scanning the surface of the record medium relatively which occurs according to a variation in the geometrical shape of its surface area, the improvement wherein at least the surface area of the record medium is formed of a material composed of an electrically conductive substance and a copolymer consisting of 98 to 65% by weight of vinyl chloride, 2 to 20% by weight of an alkyl vinyl ether with the alkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and/or a vinyl ester of a fatty acid in which the fatty acid residue has 4 to 18 carbon atoms and 0 to 15% by weight of another monomer copolymerizable with these compounds.
