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 …

The adhesion property between asphalt binder and aggregate significantly influences
structural stability, service performance, and damage evolution of the asphalt mixture …

Although it has been widely accepted that the asphalt-aggregate interface plays as one of
the most important roles for the durability of asphalt concrete, it is still a big challenge to …

Asphalt binder imparts most of its characteristics to the asphalt concrete mixture and also
dictates several forms of distresses in asphalt mixtures and pavements. The chemical …

Asphalt binder is a very important building material in infrastructure construction; it is
commonly mixed with mineral aggregate and used to produce asphalt concrete. Owing to …

Asphalt binder is a complex material whose chemical composition and structure determine
its properties. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance …

This paper semiquantitatively evaluates the microrheological properties of asphalt binder
using atomic force microscopy. It also presents differences between these properties …

Seeking a new method to solve the ultraviolet (UV) aging of bitumen is of great importance
for road applications since the UV aging is considered to be one of the main causes leading …

The aging of asphalt seriously affects the pavement performance of asphalt mixtures. In this
study, we investigated the changes in virgin and aged asphalt during the regeneration …

This review aims to explore the state of the knowledge and the state-of-the-art regarding
bitumen rejuvenation. In particular, attention was paid to clear things up about the …
