The State-of-the-Art Review on Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Asphalt Binder

The State-of-the-Art Review on Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Asphalt Binder

Asphalt pavement has been widely used in the world. As the main components of asphalt pavement, the asphalt binder is crucial to the service performance and life of the road. In the past decades, numerous studies were conducted on technical performance, aging, and modification of the asphalt binder....
