To enhance the performance of bio-asphalt, an attempt was made to modify bio-asphalt using graphene oxide (GO). Two bio-asphalts were prepared and modified with different GO dosage levels of 0 to 0.08% to obtain GO-modified bio-asphalts (GOMBA). The two GOMBA were tested in the conventional properties (penetration, softening point, and ductility), high- and low-temperature rheological properties, and aging properties. The results showed that the penetration decreases and the ductility increases slightly with the increase in the dosage of GO, while the softening point increases stably to the maximum by 17.84%, and 15.99% for the two GOMBA, respectively. GO is beneficial to improve the high temperature performance and the recovery after the deformation of the GOMBA; on the contrary, it does not significantly affect the low temperature cracking resistance of those. The maximum residual penetration ratio is 10.58% and 8.84%, respectively, and the maximum residual ductility is 10.79% and 27.51%, respectively, for the two GOMBA after short-term aging. GO modification plays a role in the change of carbonyl index (CI) and sulfoxide index (SI) of the GOMBA before and after aging based on the FT-IR spectra, indicating that the GO can effectively improve the antiaging performance of bio-asphalt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
