2. 1. Properties of Asphaltenes with emphasis on NMR self-diffusion as the investigating technique

   Author : Jenny-Ann Östlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amphiphilic; diffusion; oil; mixture analysis; CORE; stability; NMR; pulsed gradient spin echo; light scattering; XPS; asphaltene; chemical interactions;

   Abstract : Asphaltenes are high-molecular weight, highly aromatic molecules that have a strong tendency to aggregate. Asphaltenes are found in oil and may, if they form particles, cause problems during oil production and handling. READ MORE

4. 2. Development and Stabilization of Hybrid Structure of Asphaltene and Graphene

   Author : Govin Induchoodan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Non-covalent functionalization; functionalized graphene; asphaltene aggregates; ;

   Abstract : Petroleum and its derivatives, such as bitumen, are complex colloidal system. Their chemical behavior is influenced by various internal and external factors. Adding graphene derivatives to this system will only increase its complexity, thus it must be carefully considered to ensure successful integration. READ MORE

5. 3. Interaction Between Graphene Derivatives and Asphaltenes in Crude Oil and Crude Derivatives

   Author : Govindan Induchoodan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Micelle Structures; Material enhancement; Enhanced Roads; Graphene; Asphaltene deposition; Structure-Function;

   Abstract : The chemistry of crude oil (SARA) and crude derivatives, and the percentage of asphaltene can vary significantly depending on external and internal factors such as the source and method of SARA extraction. If graphitic materials are introduced into a system such as SARA, it becomes an additional variable to a complex multi-phase colloid. READ MORE

6. 4. A Fundamental Adhesion Model for Asphalt

   Author : Åsa Laurell Lyne; Björn Birgisson; Robert Lytton; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : One of the mechanisms for the deterioration of asphalt is debonding. This is often referred to as stripping. Most losses of adhesion at the bitumen-aggregate interface are attributed to the action of water leading to a reduction in properties such as tensile strength, tensile stiffness and wear resistance.
