PCL was mixed with gelatin to make a blend for elctrospun fibrous scaffold encapsulating growth factor that was admixed in the polymer solution and then filled in the syringe for electrospinning. Three scaffolds were made with (A: only PCL), (B: PCL:gelatin=3:1), (C: PCL:gelatin = 1:1). The scaffolds were immersed in PBS at 37 °C! and its degradation rate was noted: Scaffold A, B and C degraded 1%, 25% and 50% respectively, in 21 days. Assuming the growth factor is trapped and cannot freely diffuse out of the scaffold. Assuming, growth factor release is dependent on scaffold degradation A. Which scaffold can be used for delivering growth factor (encapsulated in the scaffold) needed to be delivered in first 7 days of incubation in an in-vivo experiment and why? (5pts) B. The scaffold A and C were prepared and freeze dried. Their weights were Dry weight of A: 10 mg Dry weight of C: 10 mg Both (A and C) the scaffolds were kept in PBS for 7 days at 37 °C. The scaffolds were freeze dried and their weight was recorded. Weight of A after degradation: 9.967 mg Weight of C after degradation: 8.33 mg Calculate the percentage weight remaining for A and C scaffold and comment on why one scaffold degraded faster than the other.

One of the hopes for solving the world's energy problem is to make use of the fusion reaction 21h +31h --> 42he + 10n + energy how much energy is released when 1 mol of deuterium is fused with 1 mol of tritium according to the above reaction? the masses of the atoms and the neutrons are as follows: 21h = 2.0140 amu 31h = 3.01605 amu 42he = 4.002603 amu 10n = 1.008665 amu. the speed of light is 2.9979 x 108 m/s.
