Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the rheological behavior of bitumen modified by three waste plastics (old window frames, blinds, and cables) which are composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Thus, nine polymer-modified ...

Abstract: In this study, nanocomposite-modified bitumens were prepared and mechanically tested as an alternative to polymer-modified binder. Halloysite nanotube and sepiolite nanoclay were employed along with some polymers to form ...

Abstract: This study aims at characterizing the nanostructure and microstructure and the mechanical behavior of asphalt clay nanocomposites. To this end, various atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques (i.e., tapping mode imaging, ...
