A micromechanical model of elastic-damage properties of innovative pothole patching materials featuring high-toughness, low-viscosity nanomolecular resin

Innovative pothole patching materials reinforced with a high-toughness, low-viscosity nanomolecular resin, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD, C 10 H 12 ), have been experimentally proven to be effective in repairing cracked asphalt pavements and can significantly enhance their durability and service life. In this paper, a three-dimensional micromechanical framework is proposed based on the micromechanics and continuum damage mechanics to predict the...
