Abstract: The present disclosure relates to masterbatch compositions comprising a base polymer and carbon black and carbon nanotubes as filler that can be used to prepare an article with improved electrical or mechanical performance relative to a masterbatch having carbon black filler alone. The masterbatch compositions can also be used to prepared colored articles without sacrificing electrical or mechanical performance as is typically seen with highly-loaded carbon black-filled compositions.

Abstract: Reaction products and methods for making and using such reaction products are provided. For example, a reaction product comprising an adduct formed from urea, formaldehyde, and a urease inhibitor is described, which can be provided in various forms. For example, such a reaction product can be in the form of a solid or solution. Such a reaction product can also be combined with one or more additional components, including but not limited to, additional urease inhibitor and/or a nitrogen-based fertilizer composition.

Abstract: Methods for enhancing the stability of urease inhibitors and urease inhibitor-containing compositions and for reducing the rate of degradation of urease inhibitors and urease inhibitor-containing compositions are provided. Such methods generally involve providing the urease inhibitor in the form of one or more adducts of the urease inhibitor with urea, an aldehyde, or both urea and the aldehyde.

Abstract: A urease inhibiting acidic fertilizer composition is provided, the fertilizer composition including urea; one or more adducts of a urease inhibitor with urea, formaldehyde, or both urea and formaldehyde; a particulate acidic fertilizer; and a basic component. Methods of forming and using such fertilizer compositions are also provided herein.

Abstract: The embodiment is a compact electro-mechanical device to deter pests from accessing bird feeders. The device is placed above or below a bird feeder to deter pests by application of an electrical shock. The deterrent charge is non-injurious, and the physical discomfort ends when the pest departs from the device. Activation of the charge is automatic and immediate when a pest upsets the level rest position of the device, requiring neither human input for activation nor battery-consuming continuous electronic sensing in the device. Activation is omni-directional, protecting the bird feeder from pests approaching from any direction. The device is designed for installation directly between a feeder and its mount, permitting its use on any suspended or pole-mounted bird feeder with no modification to the feeder or to the device.
