Study on the performance and mechanism of graphene oxide / polyurethane composite modified asphalt by Tengteng Guo, Zhenxia Li, Yuanzhao Chen, Qingyu Xu, Jing Wang, Lihui Jin

“…The surface of the modified composite asphalt is relatively smooth, exhibiting a stable network structure, thus solving the PU segregation problem in the matrix asphalt.The change of infrared spectrum absorption peak shows that reaction between isocyanate groups in polyurethane and aromatic esters in bitumen, GO oxidizes with the-CH functional group in asphalt, and the content of C = C double bond changes during the modification process, indicating that the modification of asphalt by GO and PU is a composite modification based on chemical modification and supplemented by physical modification.…”
