(author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Lignin, one of the most abundant natural polymers, has been extensively studied as liquid or solid additive in bituminous binders. Despite the fact the organosolv lignin in bitumen improves the overall resistance against oxidative aging, lignin could lead to binders of high thermal cracking sensitivity. In this study, a bio-based oil is...conference paper 2021

Zhang, Yi (author), Liu, X. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Gard, W.F. (author), van de Ven, Martin (author), Erkens, S. (author), Jing, R. (author)As bitumen oxidizes, material stiffening and embrittlement occur, and bitumen eventually cracks. The use of anti-oxidants, such as lignin, could be used to delay oxidative aging and to extend the lifetime of asphalt pavements. In this study, the chemical and rheological effect of lignin on bitumen was evaluated by using a single dosage organsolv...journal article 2019
