Graphene is a carbon-based nanomaterial used in various industries to improve the
performance of hundreds of materials. For instance, graphene-like materials have been …

Asphalt-based materials are abundant and a major nontraditional source of reactive organic
compounds in urban areas, but their emissions are essentially absent from inventories. At …

Thermal oxidation, ultraviolet radiation and water significantly affect the aging of asphalt
pavement, and the aging causes more serious emissions into aqueous environment. This …

Oxidative ageing and moisture damage are key factors in bitumen degradation and asphalt
pavement deterioration. The effects of oxygen and moisture on bitumen are governed by …

The mass loss of bitumen due to volatilization is one of the deterioration mechanisms
through which the chemical composition of bitumen deviates from its original condition …

Research on the aging process of bitumen has been very intensive in recent years.
However, they mainly involve the study of its components oxidation process using …

This paper examines morphological and nanomechanical changes as compositional
evolution occurs because of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in thin films of bituminous adhesives …

Under climatic conditions such as high temperature plus ultraviolet radiation and water, the
mechanical properties of asphalt pavement will be significantly attenuated. Present research …

To investigate the effects of different wavelength ranges of UV lights on chemical
compositions and macro-properties of asphalt, three UV lights were used to conduct the …
