The failure of bituminous pavements takes place due to heavy traffic loads and weather-
related conditions, such as moisture, temperature, and UV radiation. To overcome or …

Environmental pollution by petrochemical plastic is a matter of serious global concern.
Several microbes have the potential to degrade synthetic polymers with the aid of various …

The present study investigates–from an environmental perspective–the processes that lead
to the conversion of waste plastics into recycled plastic pellets to be used either as an …

Although plastic-modified roads are a promising approach to reducing the amount of
landfilled and incinerated plastic and improving asphalt pavement performance, the …

This work presents a study on the potential use of recycled linear low-density polyethylene
(RLLDPE) as a substitute for virgin polymers to produce hybrid polymer modified bitumen …

Commercial polymers have been used in pavement modification for decades; however, a
major drawback of these polymers is their high cost. Waste plastic polymers could be used …

Waste plastics are a growing concern for society and need sustainable strategies to deal
with. One of the promising strategies is to use them as a replacement for virgin polymers for …

This research study evaluates the impact of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) modified
asphalt binder on the mechanical performance and economical feasibility of asphalt …

Recycled plastics can be used to improve the rheological properties of neat bitumen. The
rheological properties of recycled plastic modified bitumen (RPMB) depend on multiple …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can improve the storage properties of modified asphalt by
enhancing the interfacial adhesion of recycled polyethylene (RPE) and base asphalt. In this …
