Integrative evaluation of utilization the nanomaterials as a modifier to asphalt mixtures: traditional and Superpave tests (opens in new tab)

Nanomaterials are increasingly used to improve asphalt binder and mixture performance. This research aims to evaluate the performance of asphalt binder and asphalt mixtures modified with Nano-metakaolin (NMK) using both conventional and Superpave testing methods. The experimental program conducted on the asphalt binder included penetration, softening point, flash point, and absolute viscosity tests. In addition, asphalt mixture performance was assessed through Marshall stability, indirect ten...
