Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Microwave heating has been shown to be an effective method of heating asphalt concrete and in turn healing the damage. As such, microwave heating holds great potential in rapid (1–3 min) and effective damage healing, resulting in improvement in the service life, safety, and sustainability of asphalt pavement. This study focused on the microwave...journal article 2021

Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Self-healing asphalt, which is designed to achieve autonomic damage repair in asphalt pavement, offers a great life-extension prospect and therefore not only reduces pavement maintenance costs but also saves energy and reduces CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The combined asphalt self-healing system, incorporating both encapsulated rejuvenator and...journal article 2021

Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Lin, P. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Nahar, S. (author), Lommerts, B. J. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Rejuvenator encapsulation technique showed great potential for extrinsic asphalt pavement damage healing. Once the capsules are embedded within asphalt pavement, the healing is activated on-demand via progressing microcrack. When the microcrack encounters the capsule, the fracture energy at the tip opens the capsule and releases the...journal article 2021

Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Self-healing asphalt, aimed to produce a sustainable asphalt pavement using green technology, has been studied in the past two decades. Technologies including encapsulated rejuvenator and induction heating have been proposed, demonstrated in the laboratory, and gradually evaluated in field application. This paper looks into the synergy effect...journal article 2020

Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper presents a unique self-healing system for asphalt pavement which employs compartmented calcium-alginate fibres encapsulating an asphalt binder healing agent (rejuvenator). This system presents a novel method of incorporating rejuvenators into asphalt pavement mixtures. The compartmented fibres are used to distribute the rejuvenator...book chapter 2020

Xu, S. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Liu, X. (author), Palin, D. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)It has been demonstrated that calcium alginate capsules can be used as an asphalt healing system by pre-placing rejuvenator (healing agent) into the asphalt mix and releasing the rejuvenator on demand (upon cracking). This healing mechanism relies on the properties of capsules which are determined by the capsule preparation process. In this...journal article 2019

Xu, S. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Liu, X. (author)Researchers have demonstrated that the rejuvenator encapsulation method is a promising autonomic self-healing approach for asphalt pavements, where by the self-healing system improves the healing capacity of an asphalt pavement mix. However, potentially high environmental risk via leaching of hazardous chemicals such as melamine formaldehyde...journal article 2018

Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Incorporating self-healing technology in asphalt pavement has been demonstrated to have great potential to prolong its service life. To this aim, the calcium alginate capsules encapsulating rejuvenator were manufactured and proved to have sufficient thermal stability and mechanical resistance to survive the asphalt production and compaction...conference paper 2018

Tabakovic, A. (author), Braak, Dirk (author), van Gerwen, Mark (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Post, W. (author), Garcia, Santiago J. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This article presents development of a novel self-healing technology for asphalt pavements, where asphalt binder rejuvenator is encapsulated within the compartmented alginate fibres. The key objective of the study was to optimise the compartmented alginate fibre design, i.e., maximising amount of rejuvenator encapsulated within the fibre. The...journal article 2017
