Low temperature thermal cracking, rutting, moisture damage and fatigue cracking are popular
damages that appear in the asphalt mixture. These problems occur mainly because of the …

Polyurethane (PU) is a synthetic material available for researchers to be designed in terms
of their demands. This study prepared a novel polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer (PUTE) …

To develop a high-performance binder for open-graded porous asphalt mixtures, a novel
high-viscosity modified bitumen (N-HVA) was prepared by melt blending base bitumen, terpene…

Developing high-efficiency electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding composite films with
outstanding flexibility and excellent thermal management capability is vital but challenging …

The compound of cage octa(aminopropylsilsesquioxane) (POSS‐NH 2 ) was prepared in
higher yield by the hydrolysis and polycondensation of trifunctional monomer H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 …

The record‐long 2020 Meiyu season since 1961 caused severe floods over the Yangtze and
Huaihe River valleys (YHRV). Why the Meiyu duration doubled in 2020 remains a puzzle. …

The use of bio-based materials to partially replace petroleum-based materials in road
engineering can not only reduce the consumption of natural resources but also contribute to …

Thermosetting resins have advantages such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and aging
resistance, and have excellent prospects for practical application as asphalt modifiers. In …

Asphalt binder is prone to thermal cracking, which limits its application in flexible bridge deck
pavement. Binders of rubbery characteristics, such as polyurethane (PU) and epoxy resin (…

To study the effect of isocyanates on the properties of polyurethane (PU) modified asphalt,
