Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

The cohesive and adhesive performances of bituminous materials significantly affect the
service life of asphalt pavement. The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method has been …

TiO2 and ZnO can alleviate the direct UV attack toward asphalt by absorbing UV, but this
process can generate the free radical and may accelerate aging indirectly. Abundant and …

Nowadays, one of the most interests of modern society is to replace increasingly larger
quantities of petroleum-derived products, which is a non-renewable source progressively …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation plays an effective role in predicting the critical
properties and explaining the macroscale phenomenon at the nanoscale. This review …

Lignin has attracted attention as an antioxidant in asphalt. To guide the improvement of the
anti-aging activity of lignin, we investigated the mechanism whereby lignin acts as an …

Lignin is the second-largest plant polymer on Earth after cellulose. About 98% of lignin
produced in the papermaking and pulping industry is used for combustion heating or power …

The objective of this study was to investigate the aging depth gradient distribution of high
viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) under the effect of solar radiation and diffuse oxygen. The …

The addition of lignin to petroleum asphalt as a bio-based anti-aging agent has attracted
significant attention owing to its antioxidant property and similar molecular structure to …

Due to the diversity of industrial lignin sources and the complexity of its structure, its
application as a high-value material is limited. Lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged …
