Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulation materials have attracted a lot of attention due to
their extensive applications in solar cells. Nearly 80% of photovoltaic (PV) modules are …

To promote asphalt self-healing, asphalt mixture can be heated via induction heating. This
technique consists in adding electrically conductive and magnetically susceptible particles …

Induction heating can be used for repairing cracks in asphalt concrete. With this purpose,
electrically conductive particles have to be added to the asphalt mixture, which is then …

To further understand the aging and regeneration of bitumen at component level,
physicochemical and rheological properties of bituminous components were investigated …

Cracks in asphalt roads can self-heal if enough resting time is allowed. Asphalt self-healing
is a viscosity related phenomenon that accelerates with the temperature of the material. In …

This paper aims to study the application feasibility of steel slag filler (SSF) to replace
limestone filler (LF) to enhance heat release and self-healing properties of asphalt mastics …

In this paper, the flow behaviors of asphalt binders were investigated through DSR viscosity-
frequency sweep test to find out their potential optimal self-healing temperatures and the …

As a preventive maintenance method, microwave self-healing is an effective method for
early repairing small cracks in asphalt mixture, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging …

Mechanically active polymers [1–8] and polymer composites [9–15] have attracted
tremendous interest as thermosensitive materials because they are able to perform …

Asphalt materials display the inherent ability to heal micro-cracks and the microwave
heating technique can help accelerate this process thus promoting the creation of a durable …
