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 …

This study investigated the performance of SBS-modified bitumen (SBSMB) after aging and
rejuvenation by utilizing macroscopic performance and microscopic characterization …

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

Asphalt has been the primary material for pavements and other building components such
as roof shingles and waterproofing systems, which can be the path for stormwater runoff …

Construction rocks often exhibit a grain structure with spatially correlated grain formations,
posing a challenge in quantifying and predicting their mechanical properties. Effectively …

To investigate the impact of thermal-oxidative aging and thermal-oxidative-water (TOW)
aging on the multiscale bonding behavior between asphalt and aggregate, this study utilized …

Asphalt rubber (AR) is a prevailing sustainable paving material, but the recycling of
reclaimed asphalt rubber pavement (RARP) faces the lack of proper rejuvenation strategies …

This study is based on the principles of thermodynamics and utilizes the Hansen solubility
parameter theory and molecular dynamics simulation techniques. By introducing solubility …

To investigate the inter-diffusion characteristics and cracking resistance of blended asphalt
binders, the virgin-aged asphalt models were developed through the molecular dynamics …

The interfacial strength between asphalt and aggregate significantly affects the macroscopic
properties of rejuvenated asphalt mixtures. Investigating the interfacial properties of …
