A laboratory study on the use of waxes to reduce paving temperatures
There is considerable interest in the possibilities of producing and paving asphalt at reduced temperature. A reduction of the temperature generates a significant reduction in energy consumption, emissions and fumes. Also health and safety conditions for the road workers are improved.

A simple test method for determination of waxes in crude oils and bitumens
Bitumen containing natural waxes and their effect on asphalt performance has been debated for many years.
The objective of this paper is to develop a simple method for determining waxes in bitumens and in crude oils.

Asfalt performantie
De laatste jaren concentreerde veel bitumenonderzoek zich op de ontwikkeling van functionele bindmiddeleigenschappen. Deze eigenschappen zouden een betere bitumen karakterisatie moeten toelaten in relatie tot het asfaltgedrag, aangezien de huidige bindmiddel specificaties onvoldoende blijken om de performantie van asfalt te voorspellen, vooral wanneer polymeer gemodificeerde bitumen gebruikt worden.

Evaluation of binder recovery methods and the influence on the properties of polymer modified bitumen
In hot mix asphalt, binder extraction in combination with a recovery method is commonly used to evaluate the
properties of a binder embedded in an existing pavement structure. In some countries, like Germany, specifications on the softening point and elastic recovery are legally required on polymer modified binders (PmBs), after recovery from a pavement.
