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.

Abstract: The current invention is a composite material and a method for making a material that changes an optical characteristic by utilizing the temperature dependent intrinsic properties of at least two phases in the composite. With changes in temperature, these composites become translucent due to the refractive index mismatch that is accompanied by interfacial light scattering.

Abstract: A plant supplement delivery assemblies and methods are provided that can include: a housing having exterior sidewalls defining a chamber; a vessel nozzle component configured to couple with the housing; a collapsible vessel component configured to be received within the housing and couple with the vessel nozzle to be in fluid communication with the vessel nozzle; and a releasably biased member within the housing and operably aligned to forcibly engage the container upon release. The methods can include operably engaging a vessel nozzle within a housing to rotatably fix the vessel nozzle to the housing; and operably affixing a nozzle of the vessel nozzle to a plant by rotating the housing to provide fluid communication between the plant and the nozzle.

Abstract: A method of extruding a polymer composite can include loading into a container feedstock material comprising a first polymer and a second polymer. A rotation-induced shear force can be established at an interface between a face of a die tool and a face of the feedstock material by rotating the feedstock material at a different rate than the die tool. An axial extrusion force can be established at the interface between the face of the die tool and the face of the feedstock material by translating the die tool relative to the container. The feedstock material can be extruded through an opening of the die tool using plastic deformation in response to the rotational shear and the axial extrusion force at the interface.
