Gao, Y. (author), Zhang, Yuqing (author), Zhang, Chao (author), Liu, X. (author), Jing, R. (author)Bitumen in asphalt pavements reacts slowly with atmospheric oxygen, resulting in oxidative ageing. This oxidative reaction is strongly dependent on the physical diffusion of the oxygen into the bitumen. This study aims to use molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to investigate the oxygen diffusion into the bitumen film and analyse the effects...journal article 2022

Gao, Y. (author), Zhang, Yuqing (author), Omairey, Eman L. (author), Al-Malaika, Sahar (author), Sheena, Husam (author)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different anti-ageing compounds (AACs) on the oxidative stability, rheological and mechanical properties of bitumen. Modified bitumen samples containing six different AAC combinations, with five samples containing Irganox acid (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydoxyphenylpropionic acid), a hindered...journal article 2021
