    Abstract: Plant supplement delivery assemblies are provided that can include an insert having collapsible insert sidewalls complimentary to the exterior sidewalls of the assembly housing, the collapsible insert sidewalls defining at least a portion of a container configured to house a plant supplement.
    Plant supplement delivery inserts are also provided that can include collapsible sidewalls extending between a discharge end and a butt end to define a container configured to house plant supplement. The butt end can be configured to operably engage a biased member, and the insert can further include a stem extending from the discharge end. The stem can define a conduit in fluid communication with the container.
    Methods for providing plant supplements are also provided. The methods can include operably engaging a biased member with a butt end of a container to collapse sidewalls of the container and provide plant supplement from the container through a stem into a plant.
    Methods for recycling components of a plant supplement delivery assembly are also provided. The methods can include after providing plant supplements from an insert of a plant supplement delivery assembly, removing the spent insert from the assembly and replacing the spent insert with a sealed insert.

    Abstract: Methods for producing adhesive joints through the application of plasma treatment of both substrates and adhesives are disclosed. The methods involve plasma treating the substrate surfaces to enhance their surface energy and promote better adhesion. The adhesive—whether in the form of an adhesive strip or a flowable adhesive—is also subjected to plasma treatment. This dual treatment results in adhesive joints with enhanced lap shear strength and resistance to debonding. The enhanced performance of the adhesive joints is attributed to the increased intra-molecular bonding at the substrate/adhesive interfaces, enabled by the plasma treatments.
