Double Effects of Oxidative Aging on Carbon Nanotube–Asphalt Nanocomposite Interfaces: Enhancement and Deterioration

Caihua Yu,
Qilin Yang

Abstract: Understanding the mechanisms of oxidative aging effects on the carbon nanotube (CNT)-asphalt nanocomposite interface has long been a challenge, as there are two opposing effects: enhancement and deterioration. In this study, a multiscale coupling method is proposed to analyze the dual effect of oxidative aging on the CNT-asphalt nanocomposite. The method is based on density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, supported by microscopic interface observation and macroscopic property t… Show more

“…Additionally, exposure to oxygen leads to the creation of new radicals that react with other hydrogen atoms in the chain, causing PP to lose its original properties. This can result in a decrease in mechanical properties, yellowing, and a reduction in viscosity. This phenomenon not only confines the range of application of PP products but also considerably reduces their lifespan, resulting in unnecessary waste and environmental pollution, and significantly disturbs the ecological balance. When white pollution originating from waste is disposed of at landfill sites and in general environments, it typically undergoes a series of aging processes when exposed to solar UV radiation, such as physical wear and erosion, thermal oxidation degradation, and biodegradation, all of which trigger crack propagation and fragmentation of polymers, known as “microplastics”, which exist in freshwater, sediment, marine environments, and biota, posing an ecotoxicological threat to aquatic environments and organisms. , In addition, high-performance PP, which is required for specific engineering fields, is a costly material. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize low-cost raw materials and simple processing technologies to produce high-performance PP.…”
