Deagglomeration of oxidized asphaltenes as a measure of true rejuvenation for severely aged asphalt binder

To promote sustainable engineering practices in construction, repeated use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has been promoted. This in turn has led to the second and third generation of reclaimed materials containing severely aged asphalt binders. To facilitate recycling and reuse of these resources, there is a need to synthesize sustainable chemicals and modifiers, which can truly rejuvenate severely aged asphalt binder. This paper...
