Currently, road and airport pavement construction uses approximately 90% asphalt, most of
which is mainly derived from fossil fuels. However, with the improvement in oil refinery …

An alternative approach for decreasing the demand and dependency for crude
petroleum/bitumen binders is the use of bio-binders in three different ways: a direct …

This investigation examines the modification effect of using two types of acrylated
epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) in asphalt binder at various concentration levels. The effects …

Grape seed is a waste product from the wine and juice industries. However, vegetable oil
can be extracted from it, which is a renewable chemical with a huge potential application …

Vegetable oil-based fuels are promising alternative fuels for diesel engines because of their
environmental and strategic advantages. In this work, binary and ternary blends of palm oil …

The viscosity of four aged bio-oil samples was measured experimentally at various shear
rates and temperatures using a rotational viscometer. The experimental bio-oils were …

Environmental issues, the growing demand for energy, political concerns, increasing crude
oil prices and the medium-term depletion of petroleum created the need for the development …

Straight vegetable oils provide cleaner burning and renewable alternatives to diesel fuels,
but their inherently high viscosities compared to diesel are undesirable for diesel engines …

Sunflower oil is the non-volatile oil compressed from sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds.
Sunflower oil contains predominantly linoleic (48 7%), oleic (14 40%), palmitic (4 9%) and …
