The concentrations of heavy metal ions found in waterways near industrial zones are often
exceed the prescribed limits, posing a continued danger to the environment and public …

Phase change materials (PCMs) can adjust the external temperature by changing their
phase states. In order to understand the application of PCMs in asphalt pavements, this …

The objective of this research is to clarify the mechanism of interaction between graphene
oxide (GO) and styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) modified asphalt. In this paper, the …

Functionalized graphene is potential to become the next generation of modifier for asphalt
pavements which require long-term durability in service. However, the reinforcing …

Asphalt concretes are biphasic systems, with a predominant phase (ca 93–96% w/w) made
by the macro-meter sized inorganic aggregates hold together by small amounts of a …

Nanomaterials and fibers have gradually become widely used modifiers in asphalt to
improve the performance of pavements. However, studies have been focusing on the …

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MCNT) are widely employed to modify the bitumen due to
their excellent properties. However, there is limited research on using MCNT to accelerate …

Functional carbon nanomaterials are incorporated in bitumen composites to enhance their
mechanical performance; however, this process is significantly hindered by the poor …

Asphalt pavement inevitably suffers rutting distress induced by repeated loads under high
temperatures, which can be effectively alleviated by the modification of asphalt binders. This …

Pavement distress detection (PDD) plays a vital role in planning timely pavement
maintenance that improves pavement service life. In order to promote the development of …
