Mechanical Properties of Cold Mix Asphalt (CMA) Mixed with Recycled Asphalt Pavement

Infrastructures, 2022
From the perspective of sustainability and environmental concerns, the use of cold-mix asphalt (CMA) and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is more advantageous than the use of hot mix asphalt (HMA) and warm mix asphalt (WMA).

Preparation and Performance of SBR/SiO2‐Modified Emulsified Asphalt Mixtures Incorporating Recycled Aggregates

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
To address the technical bottlenecks associated with the poor overall performance of emulsified asphalt mixtures incorporating high‐proportion (84 wt%) recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates, this study proposes a synergistic modification strategy using styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) and nano‐silica (SiO2), coupled with the regulation of cement and

A Review on Vehicle Tire Elastomers and Tire Wear Particles: Composition, Degradation Mechanisms, Analytical Methods, and Predictive Multiscale Computational Modeling

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The study of the properties, chemical composition, and degradation patterns of rubber materials used in vehicle tires remains a complex and interdisciplinary task. Rubber for tires—more precisely, complex mixtures of elastomers containing fillers, plasticizers, binders, and other additives—is a condensed chemically active material, the composition and ...

Enhancing In Situ Burning With Ferrocene for Improved Combustion and Reduced Smoke Production

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 5949-5969, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In situ burning (ISB) is an efficient response strategy for oil spills; however, incomplete combustion and excessive smoke production hinder its wider application. In this study, the effectiveness of using ferrocene as additives to improve the thermal behaviors and kinetics of combustion of different crude oils (Hibernia, Hebron, Dilbit and ...
