Evaluation of the Interaction and Aging Behavior for Asphalt Binders with Epoxy Resin and Phase Change Materials
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 35, Issue 6
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the interaction and antiaging characteristics of composite phase change materials in asphalt for long-term temperature adjustment of asphalt pavement. First, the epoxy resin/phase change materials (E-PCMs) modified asphalt binders were prepared by the melt blending method, and their microscopic, rheological, and temperature adjustment properties were tested. Finally, the long-term performance of the modified asphalt binders was evaluated by simulated aging. The results show that E-PCMs are well dispersed in the modified asphalt binders. E-PCMs can improve the temperature sensitivity and high-temperature stability of asphalt binders, and they could reduce the fluidity of asphalt molecules at high-temperature. The extreme temperature of the E-PCMs–modified asphalt binders can be reduced by 10.4°C and have an excellent temperature adjustment effect. The aged modified asphalt binders still have excellent temperature adjustment properties, and the survival rate of phase change enthalpy is 88%. E-PCMs could also prevent the oxidative aging of asphalt molecules and reduce the adverse effects of the photothermal environment on asphalt. It provides reference and basis for the large-scale promotion and application of temperature-adjusting pavement, which reduces the temperature disease of asphalt pavement and the near-surface thermal environment.
