Jing, R. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Liu, X. (author)In this study, a series of viscosity tests were performed to investigate various conditions, i.e. temperature, shear rate and dilution level, on the curing behavior of epoxy bitumen. The results show that curing rate of epoxy bitumen increased with temperature; high shear rate would interfere the formation of crosslinks in epoxy bitumen,...journal article 2022

(author), Wang, Xuancang (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Lignin, one of the most abundant natural polymers, has been extensively studied as an additive in bituminous binders. Even though the lignin improves the overall resistance against oxidative aging of bitumen, it could lead to high thermal cracking sensitivity. In this study, a bio-oil (i.e., rapeseed oil) is implemented in lignin-modified...journal article 2022
