The work demonstrates the great potential of using a vanadyl porphyrin probe to study resin–
paraffin aggregation processes in oils. The dynamics and polarity of the local environment of …

Oxidative aging changes the composition of bitumen, and these changes affect the cohesive
properties and adhesive properties of the bitumen. While cohesive properties of bitumen …

Considering asphalt as a mixed system composed of multiple solid and liquid phases based
on the principle of phase equilibrium and regular solution theory, in this paper, the activity …

With the rapid growth of traffic demands, the use of liquid chemical material instead of
traditional modifier to prepare high-performance modified asphalt demonstrates dual values …
