A Temperature-Independent Methodology for Polymer Bitumen Modification Evaluation Based on DSR Measurement

Owing to the continuous increase of traffic loads, bitumen modification has been manifested as an efficient methodology to enhance asphaltic pavement performance. Currently, the modification index, defined as the ratio of mechanical properties (e.g., complex modulus) before and after bitumen modification, is extensively adopted to evaluate the...

More efficient enzymatic cascade reactions by spatially confining enzymes via the SpyTag/SpyCatcher technology

Hydrocarbon synthesis from (waste)oils enabled by a cascade of lipase-catalysed hydrolysis and decarboxylase-catalysed decarboxylation has become an active area of research en route to alternative, biobased fuels. However, Poor substrate transport efficiency is a major issue causing low reaction rates. This study focused on a protein self...

Evolving Properties of Growing Networks

Complex networks describe a wide range of systems and structures in the world. Any real network can be modeled as graph, expressed by an adjacency matrix or list. In many complex networks, when a graph of a certain type grows in size, its properties are expected to change. Each complex network presents specific topological features which...
