Balancing the sustainable component of ethylene-vinyl acetate for achieved better compatibility improvement of wax-based warm mix additives in bitumen

The ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) polymers are always doped into waxy bitumen to inhibit network of wax crystals in bitumen. However, the compatibility improvement behaviors between wax-based warm mix (WWM) additives and bitumen by EVA are not clear, and the sustainable components of EVA for corresponding WWM additives to achieve better...

A Comprehensive Study on the Rejuvenation Efficiency of Compound Rejuvenators for the Characterization of the Bituminous Binder, Mortar, and Mixture

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the rejuvenation efficiency of various self-developed compound rejuvenators on the physical, mechanical, and aging properties of aged bitumen, asphalt mortar, and mixture. The results revealed that the restoration capacity of vacuum distilled-oil rejuvenators on high-and-low temperature performance...
