A Review of Advances of Nanotechnology in Asphalt Mixtures

This paper reviews the advances in using nano-materials in hot mix asphalt. The clay nano-particles are the primary materials applying in asphalt construction. Adding nano-particles like nanoclay, nanosilica, and nanotubes in asphalts normally increase the viscosity of asphalt binders and improves the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. Using nanoclay as the second modifier in polymer modified asphalts can improve the storage...
