To combat the rutting effect and other distresses in asphalt concrete pavement, certain modifiers and additives have been developed to modify the asphalt mixture to improve its performance. Although few additives exist, nanomaterials have recently attracted significant attention from the pavement industry. Several experimental studies have shown that the use of nanomaterials to modify asphalt binder results in an improved oxidative aging property, increased resistance to the rutting effect, and improves the rheological properties of the asphalt mixture. However, despite the numerous benefits of using nanomaterials in asphalt binders and materials, there are various uncertainties regarding the environmental impacts of nano-modified asphalt mixtures (NMAM). Therefore, this study assessed a Nano-Silica-Modified Asphalt Mixtures in terms of materials production emissions through the Life Cycle Assessment methodology (LCA), and the results were compared to a conventional asphalt mixture to understand the impact contribution of nano-silica in asphalt mixtures. To be able to compare the relative significance of each impact category, the normalized score for each impact category was calculated using the impact scores and the normalization factors. The results showed that NMAM had a global warming potential of 7.44563 × 103 kg CO2-Eq per functional unit (FU) compared to 7.41900 × 103 kg CO2-Eq per functional unit of the conventional asphalt mixture. The application of LCA to NMAM has the potential to guide decision-makers on the selection of pavement modification additives to realize the benefits of using nanomaterials in pavements while avoiding potential environmental risks.

“…During hot storage of polymer-modified bitumen (PMB), polymers tend to separate from the asphalt binders due to viscosity and density differences as well as incompatibility between the two components, which float and agglomerate at the top of the modified binders [31][32][33]. The instability of PMB motivates pavement engineers and researchers to find new materials to improve the performance of PMB.…”

Due to storage stability drawbacks of polymer-modified bitumen (PMB), this study investigated the storage stability and physicochemical performance of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) asphalt binders (herein PMB) modified with Silicone surface-treated nanosilica (SNS). Dosages 0% (control), 1.5%, 3% and 5% SNS powder were added to PMB to prepare modified binders. Hot storage, Viscosity, Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fluorescence Microscopy (FM), Linear Amplitude Sweep (LAS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR) tests were conducted using modified binders. The study found that adding nanosilica powder to PMB improved storage stability, increased viscosity and complex modulus, and reduced rutting of binders. However, this bitumen modification was not beneficial to fatigue cracking. The performance improvement was because of the interaction between the polymer and nanosilica, creating a new polymer-nanosilica network which lowered the dynamics around the SNS particles, thereby reducing phase separation. Further, the Silicone Si–O–Si backbone bond present in SNS modified asphalt binder reduced temperature sensitivity thereby preventing thermal degradation at high storage temperature. Nanosilica modified binders presented well-dispersed nanosilica particles in the asphalt matrix. The modification mechanism was predominantly physical. Overall, the study concluded that nanosilica improves storage stability, rutting, and morphology of PMB binders.

“…Nanosilica is recognized as a modifer of asphalt for its superior stability, thixotropy, reinforcing, and thickening properties [20][21][22]. Yao et al found that the antiaging property and rutting and fatigue cracking performance of nanosilica modified asphalt binders are enhanced, and the addition of nanosilica in the control asphalt asphalt mixture significantly improves the dynamic modulus, flow number, and rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures [23].…”

In the spring-thawing season, the high frequency of freeze-soak-scour cycles in the short term is the main cause of pavement damage in the frozen region. One of the methods to improve the durability of asphalt concrete in spring-thawing season is to add suitable modifiers and additives which improve adhesion between asphalt binder and aggregate. This study evaluates the effect of nano hydrophobic silane silica (NHSS) on the performance damage of asphalt concrete (AC) in spring-thawing season. The effectiveness of nano hydrophobic silane silica was evaluated by conducting mixture tests after different freeze-soak-scour cycles, and the damage model of NHSS modified asphalt concrete was established based on the logistic damage model. The results showed that adding NHSS is an effective technique for mitigating freeze-soak-scour cycle damage of asphalt concrete in spring-thawing season. Moreover, the influence of scour, soak, and freeze—three separate factors on NHSS-modified AC in spring-thawing season—was discussed based the gray rational degree theory. The results illustrated that the freeze factor had a more significant impact on the damage process of NHSS modified asphalt concrete compared with the soak and scour factor.
