Asphalt mastic, composed of asphalt and filler, is an important part of asphalt mixture. The
interaction between asphalt and filler, called asphalt-filler interaction, directly affects the …

Durability of asphalt concrete is significantly influenced by moisture damage, resulting in
early degradation of asphalt pavements. There are several tests and conditioning methods …

Conventional methods for evaluating the effects of additives on moisture damage resistance
of asphalt mixtures are either empirical or unable to quantify the contributions of material …

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is widely used in roadways' winter maintenance operations. Despite
its effectiveness, NaCl solution is known to accelerate the moisture-induced damage …

Asphalt mastic is known to play an important role when determining the fatigue performance
of asphalt mixture. Time sweep test using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer can be used …

This paper presents a new method to measure surface free energy of the mineral fillers. This
method takes the generalized Washburn equation as theoretical basis. First, the mineral …

To overcome the liquid set dependency of existing surface free energy (SFE) component
approaches, this paper presents an Equation-of-State (EQS) approach to measure the SFE …

Styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer (SBS)‐modified asphalt is a key material for
constructing recycled hot‐mix asphalt mixtures (RHMAs). However, these mixtures still risk …

The aim of this chapter is to describe and understand the surfaceenergy of solids at different
spatial scales. They range from molecular, mesoscopic to macroscopic scales. The impact of …

With the use of proton-NMR and powder XRD (XRPD) studies, the suitability of specific Au-
focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) precursors has been investigated with …
