Computer Simulation of Asphaltenes [PDF]
The review describes theoretical approaches based on computer simulations at various levels of details (from quantum chemical calculations to atomistic and coarse-grained models) to study asphaltenes and systems containing asphaltenes. The used methods are described, their advantages and disadvantages are discussed in terms of computational costs and ...

High-Temperature Performance Evaluation of Asphaltenes-Modified Asphalt Binders [PDF]
Asphalt binder comprises four main fractions—asphaltenes (A), saturates (S), aromatics (A), and resins (R)—referred to as “SARA”. Asphaltenes plays an important role in determining the linear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt binders.

Catagenetic trends in composition and structure parameters of asphaltenes [PDF]
Сatagenetic transformations of asphaltenes of organic matter (OM) from recent sediments and fossil rocks were studied on rocks sampled from different sedimentary basins (Timan-Pechora, Mezen, West Siberian, Kuznetsk, Aldan-Maya and Middle Amur) of Russia.
