What materials are used to make floppy discs?
Floppy disks generally had the following makeup: - A thin, plastic disk that went practically all the way to the edge of whatever casing held the disk. - A center hole made of firmer material than the disk itself that was used to move the disk in a circle as data was written to and read. Earlier designs were plastic, while later designs were metal. - A thin coating of iron oxide on the inner plastic disk, on one or both sides (single density or double density), which "permanently" holds a magnetic charge if a strong magnet is placed near it. - A rigid plastic outer shell to protect the flexible inner plastic disk (the reason they were called "floppy disks"). - On later models, there was a spring loaded metal sheath over the disk's main opening, which helped prevent dust buildup. - Also on later models, a cotton-like substance was included in the disk's interior on both sides to help remove dust as the disk was spun. - A small plastic tab (a sliding switch) was available on some floppies; when set to a particular position, the disk's drive controller would refuse to write data to the disk, making it "read only." So, basically, a few bits of metal, a few bits of plastic, coated with some more metal, and a bit of cotton for good measure.
