(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

Quan, D. (author), Wang, Guilong (author), Zhao, Guoqun (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author)The inherently low surface energy of carbon fibre reinforced Polyether-ether-ketone (CF/PEEK) composites results in an extremely low compatibility with adhesives. This subsequently causes significant challenges in the adhesive joining of them to other dissimilar materials. Herein, the bonding surfaces of the CF/PEEK composites were treated by...journal article 2022
