Exploring the recovery capacity of recycling agents on atomic-scale energy properties of aged bitumen and their potential correlations with high-temperature rheological performance

This study implements molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the atomic-level energy properties of rejuvenated bitumen, considering the influence of different recycling agent (RA) types, dosages and aging levels of bitumen. Moreover, the potential correlations between energy indices and high-temperature performance of rejuvenated bitumen...
