The investigation will bē of an exploratory nature, examining recognized, but not well understood, properties or characteristics ofmaterials and phenomena which-could perform useful functions in miniature bio-medical sensors.The project is expected at least to begin with the study of extremely fine fibers or micro-filaments. These filaments afford many properties of conceivable applicability to the sensing of dynamic parameters of biological systems at the cellular and organic levels.

Some filaments\_are known to possess very great unit strength compared to the same materials in greater bulk.Due to their fine dimension, very great lengths of the filaments can occupy small space and have small weight.Their fine dimension should, enable filaments to faithfully transmit mechanical stress-or pressure pulses.of even high frequency with aminimum of-distortion, Micro-filaments can penetrate tissue without surgery\_and with a minimun of biological damage.

Some fibers are electrical conductors, while others are insulators. Some transmit-light, while othcrs are-opaque. The surface of filaments\_can\_be coated with conductive, semiconductive, or insulating films, or with films which-can radiate or respond tohcat, light, pressure, etc.

These are but a fow of the propcrtics which-characterize: micro-filaments, propertios\_which are apparent or can be-surmised. Compared to study of characteristics of materials of larger dimension, relatively little cffort has been expendedon examining recognized properties or looking for new properties or useful interrelations between properties of materials in very small dimension

The object of this investigation will be to examine. such properties of materials individually and in-combination in the context of bio-mcdical applicability,

Grant have been devoted to preparation for and the bcginning of experimnental work relating to microscopic quartz filamcnts and their utilization in minute bio-medical sensors
During the first months of the grant period, a literature search was conducted to establish the location of source material historically or currently related to fibers of quartz and other materials and to minature sensors which have found application in clinical medicine and research physiology. Selected references from the extensive bibliography were selected for detailed study. The primary émphasis was on the available technology of fibers and microcapillaries, microscopy. high vacuun, and vacuum deposition techniquesst A technique for producing fine filaments of glass was mastered using simple equipment which was available.These glass filaments were used to anticipate the specific needs for fabricating, handling, and observing instruments so that tentative requirements for these necessary research tools could be established.
The Interim Report is prepared for subrrission with the applicatic for continuation of the research grant. The detailed terminal report for the work of the year 1961-1962 will be submitted in October, 1962.
