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 …

As a vital and integral component of transportation infrastructure, pavement has a direct and
tangible impact on socio-economic sustainability. In recent years, an influx of …

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 …

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

Liquid styrene-butadiene rubber (LSBR) has been used as a modifier to improve high-
temperature storage stability and cracking resistance of asphalt binder. However, the …

High temperature instability is the biggest problem which limits the application of Styrene-
Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified bitumen in flexible pavements. Addition of multi-layer …

The utilization of foamed virgin asphalt in cold recycled mixtures results in insufficient
bonding strength between aggregates, leading to rapid deterioration to the recycled asphalt …

Self-healing asphalt is considered as one of the desirable methods to extend the service life
of asphalt pavement. This research prepared a polyurea elastomer containing dynamic …

Compatibilizers play a crucial role in enhancing the compatibility between styrene–
butadiene–styrene (SBS) polymer and asphalt, and the coupling of compatibilizers with SBS …
