Asphalt materials are uneven and complex organic matter, and the properties of asphalt–
aggregate interfaces are also complex. This makes it difficult for researchers to understand …

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 extreme saline environment seriously threatens the service life of asphalt pavement.
The interface adhesion failure between asphalt and aggregate is fundamental to pavement …

Recent research proves that pyrolytic oils from waste tires are effective in restoring the
chemical and rheological properties of aged asphalt binders. Nonetheless, the role of oil …

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 …

Polyphosphoric acid (PPA) plays an important role in improving the performance of polymer
modified asphalt binders. This study aims to understand the modification mechanism of PPA …

Water transport is one of the major factors responsible for moisture damage in asphalt
pavements. To study the thermodynamics and kinetics of water transport in bitumen and to …

Asphalt-aggregate interfaces are prone to damage by moisture, leading to a decrease in
interfacial adhesion. However, the precise mechanism governing water molecule behavior …

The blending degree, dominated by the diffusion process between virgin and rejuvenated
asphalt, profoundly affects the performance of recycled mixtures. However, research on the …

This study utilized molecular dynamics simulations to assess the rejuvenation of aged
asphalt (AA) with waste soybean oil (WSO) and functionalized SBS polymers, focusing on …
