Characterization of Glass Transition Temperature and Surface Energy of Bituminous Binders by Inverse Gas Chromatography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was used to characterize two bituminous binders (A and B) of different origin. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) were determined by constructing van’t Hoff plots using n-pentane probes in a temperature range between -50 °C and +120 °C. Tg values were specified using the first deviations from linearity observed in the adsorption zone of the plots. A 6 °C difference in Tg was found between the two different specimens. Retention measurements using n-alkane probes, carried out at -30 °C, revealed a higher dispersive surface energy term (γs ) for bituminous binder A than for B, with values of 59.3 and 50.6 mJ/m2, respectively. Binder A was composed of a higher asphaltenes content compared to binder B. This difference in chemical composition accounted for the different surface energy values.

Binder has a key role in the performance of composite propellants. The binders are classified into two neutral and high-energy categories. GAP is one of the most important energetic binders, but it has poor mechanical and thermal properties. The goal of this investigation is to improve the properties of GAP by copolymerizing it with polytetrahydrofuran. New energy triblock copolymer was synthes...

Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...
متن کاملInfluence of Setting Time of Tack Coat on Bond Strength of Bituminous Paving Layers
Poor adhesion between two successive bituminous layers causes adverse effects on the structural strength of the pavement and develops a numbers of premature failure. To improve the adhesion, it is a general practice to apply a tack coat over an existing or newly constructed bituminous surface before laying another bituminous layer. The main objective of this study is to explore the influence of...
