Study on Ultraviolet Aging Performance of Composite Modified Asphalt Based on Rheological Properties and Molecular Dynamics Simulation by Mingxing Gao, Conghao Fan, Xinxin Chen, Meijian Li

“…With the progress of UV aging, the rutting factor gradually increases, the phase angle gradually decreases, and the high-temperature performance of the asphalt is improved; the stiffness modulus gradually increases, the creep rate gradually decreases, and the low-temperature capability of the asphalt is weakened; cohesive energy density increases, the intermolecular interaction becomes stronger, and the solubility parameter becomes smaller, which reduces the compatibility between the asphalt and the modifier and increases the elastic modulus, bulk modulus, and shear modulus, improving the high-temperature mechanical properties of the asphalt. …”
