Cermets are designed to optimize the mechanical properties of ceramics (hard and strong component) and metals (ductile and tough component) into one system. However, the processing of such systems is a problem in obtaining fully dense composite without deleterious reaction products. In the lightweight (2.65 g/cc) B4C-Al cermet, many of the processing problems have been circumvented. It is now possible to process fully dense B4C-Al cermet with tailored microstructures and achieve unique combination of mechanical properties (fracture strength of over 600 MPa and fracture toughness of 12 MPa-m1/2). In this paper, microstructure and fractography of B4C-Al cermets, tested under dynamic and static loading conditions, are described.The cermet is prepared by infiltration of Al at 1150°C into partially sintered B4C compact under vacuum to full density. Fracture surface replicas were prepared by using cellulose acetate and thin-film carbon deposition. Samples were observed with a Philips 3000 at 100 kV.

ABSTRACTCellular processes including adhesion, migration and differentiation are governed by the distinct mechanical properties of each cell. Importantly, the mechanical properties of individual cells can vary depending on local physical and biochemical cues in a time-dependent manner resulting in significant inter-cell heterogeneity. While several different methods have been developed to interrogate the mechanical properties of single cells, throughput to capture this heterogeneity remains an issue. While new high-throughput techniques are slowly emerging, they are primarily aimed at characterizing cells in suspension, whereas high-throughput measurements of adherent cells have proven to be more challenging. Here, we demonstrate single-cell, high-throughput characterization of adherent cells using acoustic force spectroscopy. We demonstrate that cells undergo marked changes in viscoelasticity as a function of temperature, the measurements of which are facilitated by a closed microfluidic culturing environment that can rapidly change temperature between 21 °C and 37 °C. In addition, we show quantitative differences in cells exposed to different pharmacological treatments specifically targeting the membrane-cytoskeleton interface. Further, we utilize the high-throughput format of the AFS to rapidly probe, in excess of 1000 cells, three different cell-lines expressing different levels of a mechanosensitive protein, Piezo1, demonstrating the ability to differentiate between cells based on protein expression levels.
