Assaf Martinez-Streignard, E.I. (author), Liu, X. (author), Lin, P. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Nahar, Sayeda (author), Mensink, Liz I.S. (author)Conventional Molecular Dynamics (MD) models of bitumen are built by homogeneously mixing molecules in a volume without considering that the molecules in bitumen are known to exhibit phase behavior and form distinctive molecular arrangements. These are known to have a significant impact in the behavior of bitumen, and considering their...journal article 2023

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

Apostolidis, P. (author), Nahar, Sayeda (author), Liu, X. (author), Lommerts, Bert-Jan (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)The utilization of epoxy-based polymers as bituminous modifiers in developing durable and long-lasting pavement structures have gained increasing interest over the last years showing evidence of high performing materials (1-8). It has been noticed that the addition of epoxy-based modifier into bitumen lead to materials with superior...conference paper 2019
