Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Rheological properties of modified Bitumen: Comparison of waste polymers’ performance [PDF]

Journal of Particle Science and Technology, 2015
In this investigation, rheological properties of three different polymer-modified bitumen compounds containing recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET), crumb rubber (CR) and poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) are evaluated and compared.

Morphology and image analysis of polymer modified bitumens

Construction and Building Materials, 2009
Abstract This paper presents a laboratory study of styrene butadiene styrene (SBS); ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and ethylene butyl acrylate (EBA) based polymer modified bitumen samples (PMBs). The PMBs have been produced by mixing a 50/70 penetration grade unmodified (base) bitumen with copolymers at different proportions.

Influence of Polymer and Rubber Modification on Fatigue Crack Propagation in Asphalt Mixtures: A Cyclic SCB and Paris Law Investigation

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is a major distress limiting asphalt pavement service life, and Paris law–based fracture mechanics offers a more mechanistic understanding than conventional fatigue testing. However, systematic characterization across diverse modifiers, dosages, notch depths, and temperatures remains limited.

Fatigue Analysis of Bitumen Modified with Composite of Nano-SiO2 and Styrene Butadiene Styrene Polymer

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2020
Since fatigue cracking is caused in the middle-temperature conditions due to the stresses from heavy traffic and as the bitumen plays a very important role in controlling this failure, therefore, in recent years, the production of the modified bitumen ...

Synthesis of functionalized polyolefins in a new continuous bench‐scale reactor apparatus

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In‐reactor functionalized polyolefins (FPOs), produced by molecular catalysts, are a new class of polymer materials with applications ranging from high performance adhesives to bitumen compatibilization. In this work, we disclose a procedure for the synthesis of FPOs in a new Continuous Bench‐scale Reactor Apparatus (COBRA).

Study of Rheological Properties of Bituminous Binders in Middle and High Temperatures

Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2016
The bitumen binders in road pavements are exposed traffic loading effect at different climatic conditions. A resistance to these stresses depends on bitumen properties as well. The paper presents rheological properties (G*, δ, ν*) determined and compared

Hybrid Amyloid–Boron Nitride Aerogels for Lightweight Sound Insulation

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 47, 21 August 2026.
Amyloid fibrils template the mild formation of boron nitride–rich hybrid aerogels with hierarchical porosity, enhanced BN‐like ordering, and fibril‐reinforced mechanics. These ultralight materials combine thermal stability with strong sound absorption and transmission loss, offering a sustainable bio‐assisted route toward lightweight acoustic shields ...
