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 use of polymer modified asphalts for waterproofing and in road pavement has been
continually increasing worldwide, because a relatively small quantity of added polymer can …

The use of waste plastics in partial asphalt binder replacement and substitute for polymer
modification has the potential to contribute to the sustainability of road infrastructure as well …

Viscoelastic Solids covers the mathematical theory of viscoelasticity and physical insights,
causal mechanisms, and practical applications. The book: presents a development of the …

During the early 21st century, nanotechnology has stood strong in the oil and gas industry,
with many applications that have gone from laboratory and numerical simulation studies to …

Natural bitumens consist of many molecules whose chemical composition depends on the
oilfield and determines the physicochemical properties of the bitumens as materials. Infrared …

Modelling the rheological properties and chemical characteristics of asphalt material has
been a hotspot. In this study, 20/40 and 60/80 pen grade asphalt binders named binder A …

This paper deals with the thermo-rheological behaviour at in-service and handling
temperatures (ie pumping, mixing, compaction, etc.) of bitumens modified by 9wt% crumb …

Several polyethylene and polyethylene-based copolymers were used to modify a 70/100
penetration grade asphalt from vacuum distillation. The morphological and storage stability …

Bitumen is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons for which microstructural knowledge is
incomplete. In an effort to detail this microstructure, 13 bitumens were analysed by phase …
