Interfacial adhesion at the molecular level is a complex process, where the key players
(asphalt, aggregates, water, and air) are in a dynamic state of structural equilibrium, varying …

The damage mechanism of severe salt corrosion on asphalt surfaces should be revealed at
molecular scale. This study utilized molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory …

During the last few decades, industrial waste has increased at an alarming rate, and the
recycling of waste materials has always been an urgent problem to be solved. While the …

The self-healing ability of rubberized asphalt, especially at low-temperatures, plays a vital
role in extending the durability of pavements. Despite the wide use of rubberized asphalts …

This is a comprehensive review of the significance of solubility theories, internal stability,
and external compatibility within petroleum science and pavement engineering. The …

The objective of this study was to prepare microcapsules and investigate their impact on the
self-healing properties of asphalt. Microcapsules with various core–shell ratios were …

Recycled rubber materials represent an environmentally sustainable option as asphalt
modifiers. This research delves into the modification effects of Styrene Butadiene Rubber …

Moisture erosion is inevitable at the interface between rubber-modified asphalt and
aggregate. When moisture penetrates the interface through diffusion, it causes varying …

To investigate the diffusion behavior of phase change materials (PCMs) in differently aged
asphalts during leakage and their impact on asphalt performance, this study focuses on …

The objective of this study is to investigate the intermolecular interactions between polymers
and asphalt components due to the oxidation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Quantum …
