Abstract Component ratio change is considered to be the main reason leading deterioration of asphalt properties, but there are few studies on aging mechanism from perspective modifier molecules. To reveal styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer (SBS)/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compound-modified asphalt, micro in process was studied by combining molecular dynamics (MD) and Fourier transfor...

Two materials were used, like graphene oxide nanosheets (GOn) and ferromagnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4), to attenuate the electromagnetic (EM) properties in blend hybrid nanocomposites based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) as matrix. The rationale behind using either a ferroelectric or nanofillers Fe3O4 combination with intrinsically conducting (graphene oxide) ...

Traditionally it has been difficult to study the porous structure of dense colloidal gels and (macro) molecular transport through them simply because of the difference in refractive index between the colloid material and the continuous fluid phase surrounding it, rendering the samples opaque even at low colloidal volume fractions. Here, we demonstrate a novel colloidal gel that can be refractiv...
