Sasobit, a typical organic wax additive, was selected and added into CRMA. A series of tests, namely, brookfield viscosity, environmental scanning electron microscope(ESEM), component test, differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were conducted on CRMA with and without organic wax additive, and microcosmic appearance, component content and molecular structure of various asphalt binders were obtained. The test results indicate that the addition of Sasobit~ into CRMA can effectively change the contents of components: the content of asphaltenes increases relatively, while saturates decreases. In addition, the interaction between various components of CRMA is weakened, and the state of equilibrium between the dispersant and dispersed phase is changed at the same time. That is why the viscosity decreases after the organic wax additive is added into CRMA.展开更多

The effect of ethanol (C2H5OH), propanol (C3H7OH), and butanol (C4H9OH) upon the viscosity of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) solution in the presence or absence of KBr at 30℃was investigated, wher...The effect of ethanol (C2H5OH), propanol (C3H7OH), and butanol (C4H9OH) upon the viscosity of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) solution in the presence or absence of KBr at 30℃was investigated, where the surfactant concentration CS is kept constant. In the absence of KBr, the relative viscosity ηr of TTAB solution increases linearly with the alcohol concentration CA, indicating that the alcohols do not promote micelle formation of TTAB. In the presence of KBr, ηr linearly decreases with CA for C2H5OH, but it exhibits a maximum with increasing CA for C3H7OH or C4H9OH. The facts reveal that C2H5OH or C4H9OH promotes the micelle formation of TTAB. A possible explanation is that the hydrophobicity of the mieellar interior is enhanced by KBr, so that C2H5OH or C4H9OH can dissolve in micelle and promotes micelle formation. In the presence of KCl, which is less efficient in promoting the micelle formation of cationic surfactant, both C3H7OH and C4H9OH have only a slight effect on the micelle formation. In contrast, due to the hydrophilicity, C2H5OH cannot dissolve in micelles in the presence of KBr or KCl.展开更多

DCE is a good solvent for polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and a poor solvent for paraffin, whereas CYH is a good solvent for the paraffin and a precipitant for PVAc. Viscosities of EVA in different compositions of the solvent mixture with and without additives were measured. Viscosity results were used to determine the C-A value of the systems. It is shown that C-A was markedly dependent on the composition of the solvent mixture and concentration and structure of the additive. Solvation and competition between hydrogen bonding and micellisation were suggested for qualitative description of the changing of C-A value observed.展开更多

The study included the determination of the kinematic viscosity of the mixtures, the calculation of the viscosity indexes and their behavior when subjected to various rheometric experiments, including stress sweep, steady state flow, creep and recovery, and temperature ramp oscillatory tests. The obtained results showed the efficacy of the additives as viscosity index improvers, enabling a significant increase in the viscosity index of the pure oils at relatively low concentrations. The determination of the storage (G’) and of the loss (G”) moduli for the mixtures oil/VII additives showed a large predominance of the viscous effect over the elastic one. Except when under low shear stress, the mixtures showed a pseudoplastic behavior, with the flow curves being adjusted to fit the Ostwald-de-Waele model (Power Law), with negative flow behavior indexes.展开更多

The warm CRM binders were produced using two wax additives (LEADCAP and Sasobit) and then shortterm and long-term aged using the rolling thin film oven (RTFO) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) procedures. The recycled CRM binders were aged through the RTFO and PAV pro- cedures. A set of Superpave binder tests were carried out on the binders through the rotational viscometer, the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and the bending beam rheometer (BBR). In general, the results of this study indicated that (1) the addition of longterm aged (LTA) CRM binder can significantly increase the viscosity of the recycled CRM binders as expected, (2) the wax additives in recycled CRM binders were still effective to improve the viscosity and rutting properties even after experiencing the aging process, (3) the CRM binders containing wax additives showed the higher rutting resistance compared to the control CRM binders, (4) the recycled CRM binder containing wax additives was found to have less resistance to fatigue and low temperature cracking, (5) wax warm additives into the recycled CRM binders seemed to have a significant role for cracking properties, based upon their substantial amount.展开更多

The flow resistance indicates the mobility, whereas the torque viscosity dictates the stability of a castable during installation. It has been observed that with 6.0wt% water addition, such a mix possesses good vibration castable characteristics; with 6.5 wt%, it shows good self-flow castable characteristics; and with 7.0 wt%, it can be a good pumpable castable, in every case with comparable mechanical properties. While with 7.5 wt% water addition, the properties of such castable are definitively impaired.展开更多
