Enhancing the performance of bituminous hot mix pavements with graphene nanoplatelet additive using taguchi optimization by Suna Işık, Fatih İrfan Baş

“…Based on the experimental plan established by the Taguchi method, 16 different mixtures were prepared using four parameters, each with four levels: GNP rates of 0 %, 0.35 %, 0.70 %, and 1 %; mixing temperatures of 145°C, 160°C, 175°C, and 190°C; mixing times of 15, 30, 45, and 60 min; and mixing speeds of 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 rpm. A comprehensive set of tests, including penetration, softening point, flash point, elastic recovery, rotational thin film oven test (RTFOT), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Marshall design experiments, were conducted on the mixtures to evaluate the influence of the selected parameters and levels on the properties of bitumen. …”
