Atomic force microscopy (AFM) based microstructural and micromechanical analysis of bitumen during ageing and rejuvenation (2025)
Journal Article
Hu, Y., Yin, Y., Sreeram, A., Si, W., Airey, G. D., Li, B., Singh, B., Özdemir, D. K., & Zhou, L. (2025). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) based microstructural and micromechanical analysis of bitumen during ageing and rejuvenation. Construction and Building Materials, 467, Article 140387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2025.140387

Aging deteriorates the performance of bitumen whereas rejuvenation can partially restore these properties. Although the macroscale properties of bitumen ageing and rejuvenation have been well documented, the microscale mechanisms are still not well u...

Enhancing fatigue resistance and low-temperature performance of asphalt pavements using antioxidant additives (2025)
Journal Article
Hu, Y., Cheng, X., Sreeram, A., Si, W., Li, B., Pipintakos, G., & Airey, G. D. (2025). Enhancing fatigue resistance and low-temperature performance of asphalt pavements using antioxidant additives. Materials and Structures, 58(1), Article 46. https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-025-02574-4

Ageing results in significant performance deterioration of asphalt, especially in relation to its fatigue and low-temperature performance. This performance deterioration can theoretically be lowered by incorporating antioxidants in asphalt mixtures....

Physicochemical compatibility assessment of bio-additives and bitumen using solubility science-based approaches (2025)
Journal Article
Hu, Y., Sreeram, A., Al-Tabbaa, A., & Airey, G. D. (2025). Physicochemical compatibility assessment of bio-additives and bitumen using solubility science-based approaches. Fuel, 387, Article 134361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2025.134361

Increasing environmental concerns necessitate the urgent investigation of alternative, sustainable resources as replacement for fossil fuel-derived bitumen; the primary material used for road construction. One of the promising approaches is the use o... Read More about Physicochemical compatibility assessment of bio-additives and bitumen using solubility science-based approaches.
