“…Three-way ANOVA and Games-Howell test were performed by SPSS 19.0 (α = 0.05).ResultsThe Three-way ANOVA indicated that bonding performance was significantly affected by curing mode (p = 0.000, F = 1,237.510), resin cement (p = 0.000, F = 59.507) and storage time (p = 0.000, F = 97.888). The interaction of these three factors was significant (p = 0.017, F = 2.071).ConclusionThe bonding strength and durability of dual curing resin cements were significantly improved by light-curing process. …”

Microstructural modifications in bitumens rejuvenated by oil from pyrolysis of waste tires by Michela Alfe, Valentina Gargiulo, Giovanna Ruoppolo, Francesco Cammarota, Pietro Calandra, Cesare Oliviero Rossi, Valeria Loise, Michele Porto, Roberto Di Capua, Paolino Caputo

“…During the paving procedure, the volatile compounds are lost and oxidization occurs with variation of the mechanical characteristics (aging); thus, the material becomes rigid and brittle over time and may need replacement. Instead of being landfilled, aged asphalts can be reused in new pavements after pretreatment with specific additives to restore their original properties.MethodsBy considering conscious utilization of natural resources, we propose using the condensable fraction (oil) obtained from the pyrolysis of waste tires (WTs) as the agent to rejuvenate aged bitumen. …”
