FHWA-funded doctoral research
Revised asphalt oxidation model
Represent how asphalt chemistry and polymer compatibility evolve over a binder’s service life.
Problem
Represent how asphalt chemistry and polymer compatibility evolve over a binder’s service life.
Approach
Linked oxygen uptake to aging state, used orbital electronegativity to predict site-specific oxidation and extended a 12-component asphalt model across five aging states.
Tools & methods
Outcome
Quantified aging-driven compatibility shifts; published in Fuel in 2026 and presented at the Gulf Coast Polymer Conference and TRB.
