Several previous studies have documented the progress in polymer modified asphalt binder
with respect to materials' types and properties. However, limited or no effort was made to …

The failure of bituminous pavements takes place due to heavy traffic loads and weather-
related conditions, such as moisture, temperature, and UV radiation. To overcome or …

Abstract Over the years, Cold-Mix Asphalts (CMAs) used principally for pothole patching and
partial-depth repairs in Ghana have performed abysmally. Given the convenience …

Nanotechnology has been employed to provide solutions to the problems arising in the
design, construction, and utilization of functional structures with at least one dimension …

Bitumens are complex materials, produced mainly from crude oil as a by-product of
petroleum refineries, but may also be obtained from bio-oils or solid hydrocarbons. Bitumen …

Phase separation and thermal-oxidative degradation can occur during storage and
transportation of polymer modified bitumens (PmB), and both phenomena may substantially …

There are increasing interest in using nanoclay particles to improve asphalt binder and the
produced concrete in pavement engineering. However so far most of the study was to …

The objective of this work is to study the effect of nanoclay fillers on the biodegradation and
barrier properties of corn starch polymer-based biofilm. Starch derived from corn plant …

Starting from the eighties, the use of nanoadditives registered an increasing attention in the
scientific and patent literature, especially for the case of polymeric nanocomposites. In the …

In this study, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and triethanolamine (TEOA) were used
together by applying a different process in order to obtain a good chemical interaction …
