  • Publication number: 20240102176
    Abstract: Compositions with supramolecular structures for use in anticorrosive methods include a corrosion inhibitor; a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the corrosion inhibitor; and a solvent. Methods of inhibiting corrosion on a surface or reducing the amount of anticorrosive composition within a system include adding an anti-corrosively effective amount of the composition to the system.

  • Publication number: 20240059972
    Abstract: Surface-active compositions with supramolecular structures for industrial, household, agricultural, and oil and gas use include a surfactant, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the surfactant, and a solvent. The surface-active compositions optionally can be substantially free of yeast, or protein extracted from yeast. Methods of increasing wettability of a surface and increasing dispersibility in a fluid by using the surface-active compositions are also described.

  • Publication number: 20230109010
    Abstract: Compositions with supramolecular structures for agricultural use include a pesticide, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the pesticide, and a solvent, and methods of preparing the same, are included. Methods of controlling weeds at a crop site include applying an agriculturally effective amount of the composition to the crop site are also included.

  • Publication number: 20230090697
    Abstract: Compositions with supramolecular structures for agricultural use include a biostimulant, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the biostimulant, and water, are included. Methods of treating a plant to improve nutrient assimilation, water uptake, or vigor, or a combination thereof, include applying an agriculturally effective amount of the composition to the plant are also included.

  • Publication number: 20230072370
    Abstract: Compositions with supramolecular structures for agricultural use include a biological compound, a surfactant, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the biological compound, the surfactant, or both, and a solvent. Methods of treating a plant to improve nutrient assimilation, water uptake, yield, shelf life, or vigor include applying an agriculturally effective amount of the composition to the plant.
