Effects of nanomodifiers on rheological, chemical, and microstructural properties of asphalt mastics by Sandra Matarneh, Nawal Louzi, Ibrahim Asi, Mu'tasim Abdel-Jaber, Eyad Masad

“…The effect of NHL on stiffness at the nano scale (AFM measurements) was more pronounced than at the bulk scale (DSR measurements), primarily because the physico-chemical interactions of NHL with binder are not manifested in bulk diluted filler systems with low filler concentration. The research highlights the need to optimize filler concentrations to achieve the required rheological properties and ageing resistance using various rheological, chemical, and microstructural tests. …”
