商品簡介
Seeks to initiate a revitalization in the research, development, and engineering of asphalt in order to sustain its current use and to develop new applications. Covers the characterization of asphalt, mechanical rheological aspects, polymer modifications, and relationships between performance and modification. Among the specific topics are an analytical approach to bitumen-polymer blends, asphalt coatings and mastics for roofing and waterproofing, rheological properties of polymer-modified asphalt binders, the oxidation of asphalt fractions, and the detection of strongly acidic compounds in extensively aged asphalts. Of interest to chemists, chemical engineers, and civil engineers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
