The use of bitumen as a construction material dates back to antiquity. The materials in use
then were mostly naturally occurring in contrast to modern bitumens which have become …

This synthesis explores the state-of-the-knowledge and state-of-the-practice regarding the
latest updates on polymer-modified bitumens (PmBs). The information in this study was …

A waxy crude oil which gels below a threshold temperature has been investigated under
static and dynamic conditions, using a combination of rheological methods, optical …

Asphaltenes are heteroatom rich macromolecules thought to be mainly derived from the
early breaking of covalent bonds in kerogen and thus have been considered to be a lower …

A number of difficulties may be encountered in the final stages of oil field exploitation,
including the formation of asphalt–resin–paraffin deposits (ARPDs). It is expedient to use …

The morphology of unmodified and organo‐montmorillonite modified bitumens was
investigated by atomic force microscopy. The influence of thin film oven test and ultraviolet …

This research work focuses on the development of two polymeric compounds poly (n-
dodecyl linoleate–co-succinic anhydride) and poly (n-dodecyl ricinoleate–co-succinic …

Data on the structure of oil asphaltene molecules and their aggregation routes is
systematized. The possible phase transitions in asphaltene nano-aggregates and their …
