Abstract: Hot-mix asphalts are composite materials with self-healing properties: cracks in pavements constructed with these asphalts can close without external help. However, this self-healing process is slow, and cracks may reopen ...

Abstract: Self-healing asphalt with encapsulated rejuvenators is a promising technology to improve the service life of asphalt pavements. Broken capsules reduce the viscosity of aged bitumen due to rejuvenator diffusion, sealing ...
