The fracture toughness and uniaxial tensile yield strengths of unmodified and CTBN-rubbermodified epoxies were measured under hydrostatic pressure. The purpose of these experiments was to learn how suppressing cavitation in rubber particles affects the deformation mechanisms and the fracture toughness of rubber-modified epoxy. It was found that the cavitation of CTBN-rubber could be suppressed ...

Abstract The improvement of physical properties emulsified bitumen residues is the prime concern for researchers to improve performance cold mix asphalt and different types polymers are incorporated in this purpose. However, emulsion usually prepared with help emulsifier function emulsions reduce interfacial tension on surfaces water droplets which results a stable suspension system sufficient ...

The growth in various types of industries together with population growth has resulted in enormous increase in production of various types of waste materials world over creating a problem of its disposal in eco-friendly way. To deal with the problem, study on use of plastic waste as partial replacement to bitumen in flexible pavement is considered in the present work. The work consists of an ex...

This research study aims to investigate the feasibility of incorporating high-density polyethylene waste (HDPEW) into bitumen applications. Two conventional conditions bitumen, namely, aged (AB) and virgin (VB), are rejuvenated modified, respectively, using post-consumer HDPEW sourced out bottle crates. The outcome (Pyro oil, PO-HDPEW) pyrolysis thermochemical process is used by 10, 20, 30% rej...

The influence of natural rubber along-side with chlorine gas on the bitumen blends characteristics have inspected. modification performed through passing molten mix prepared using and latex variety percentages. Penetration, penetration index, ductility softening point tested. In addition, viscoelasticity, rutting resistance thermal stability measured dynamic shear rheometric analysis differenti...
