Diffusion Properties of Asphalt Components
- (1)
- Diffusion rates varied for each fraction of asphalt. The saturate fraction moved the fastest and the asphaltene the slowest, and the law holds for most asphalt species. This was mainly related to the relative molecular weights of the asphalt fractions, where molecules with large relative molecular weights moved more slowly, and molecules with small relative molecular weights moved more quickly [36]. They were less active because molecules with high relative molecular weights had larger molecular structures and higher bond-stretching energies. Molecules with small relative molecular weights had small changes in their bond angle energies and were more reactive [45].
- (2)
- The addition of CR reduced the motion of asphalt molecules. The diffusion coefficient of CRMA decreased by about 31% compared to base asphalt, and the diffusion coefficients of the fractions of CRMA were also lower than those of base asphalt. Because the CR molecules were mixed with the fractions of the asphalt, the intermolecular interactions in the system inhibited the incorporation of CR, resulting in the slow molecular movement of CRMA. Therefore, CR would inhibit the movement of asphalt fractions and, to a certain extent, could improve the stability of CRMA. However, it was shown that there is a correlation between the asphalt diffusion coefficient and its self-healing properties. Smaller diffusion coefficients would weaken the self-healing performance of asphalt mixtures for microcracks [19].
- (3)
- The diffusion coefficient of the base asphalt decreased by about 10% after aging. However, the diffusion coefficient of CRMA did not change much. Because the diffusion coefficient of asphalt fractions affected their rheological properties [36], the rheological properties of CRMA were more stable, and the aging resistance was better than that of base asphalt.
Diffusion Properties of Asphalt Components in Asphalt-Aggregate Interface Model
- (1)
- The asphalt fractions of the asphalt–aggregate interface model had the fastest movement for the saturate fraction, followed by aromatic fraction and resin, and the slowest movement for asphaltene. The law of motion was consistent with the law mentioned above for the fractions of asphalt and held for most asphalt species. However, the diffusion coefficient of asphalt on the aggregate surface was nearly ten times greater than that of asphalt alone.
- (2)
- Different aggregates affected the asphalt diffusion coefficient for the asphalt–aggregate interface. The diffusion coefficient of asphalt in the asphalt–SiO2 interface was greater than that of asphalt in the asphalt–CaCO3 interface, and this law held for most asphalt species.
3.3. Mechanical Properties
- (1)
- Compared with base asphalt, CRMA increased each mechanical modulus. This included an increase in the bulk modulus of about 24%, shear modulus of about 23%, and Young’s modulus of about 43%. This indicated that CR improved the mechanical properties of asphalt and, through interaction with asphalt fractions, inhibited the movement of asphalt fractions.
- (2)
- The bulk modulus of the base asphalt increased by 21% after aging. The higher the bulk modulus, the smaller the material’s volume change and the greater the resistance to compressive force. This may be due to polymerization and oxidation within the asphalt after aging. The light fractions of asphalt are gradually converted to heavy fractions, so the asphalt becomes brittle and hard after aging. The shear modulus and Young’s modulus of base asphalt and CRMA decreased after aging. The shear modulus of the aged asphalt decreased by about 13% and Young’s modulus decreased by about 18%. The shear modulus of the aged CRMA decreased by about 3% and Young’s modulus decreased by about 13%. This indicated that the mechanical properties of both base asphalt and CRMA deteriorated after aging. However, CRMA showed a smaller reduction than base asphalt. This indicated that CRMA has better aging resistance.
3.4. Component Interaction Behavior
3.4.1. Energy Analysis
- (1)
- The energy size relationship of various types of asphalt was calculated as aged CRMA (14,507 kcal/mol) > aged asphalt (13,575 kcal/mol) > CRMA (13,564 kcal/mol) > base asphalt (12,465 kcal/mol). CRMA provided an 8.8% total energy gain over base asphalt. Because CR is a macromolecule, adding it to asphalt increases its energy.
- (2)
- The total energy of base asphalt and CRMA was improved by 8.9% and 6.9% after aging, respectively. The molecular mass of asphalt increased due to the oxidation of small molecules to form large molecules of asphaltene during the aging process. According to the mass–energy equation, an increase in mass at a given speed would increase the energy of the substance. This resulted in a greater relative atomic mass and higher energy in the aged asphalt than in the base asphalt [42].
3.4.2. Interaction Energy Analysis
- (1)
- In CRMA, the absolute value of the interaction energy between CR and each fraction was calculated as aromatic > resin > asphaltene > saturate. Considering that the content of the four fractions in the asphalt was not uniform, the interaction energy was divided by the mass percentage of the four fractions (Table 1) to make the simulation results more instructive. The magnitude relationship of the normalized fitting results was obtained as aromatic (−976.98 kcal/mol) > saturate (−853.38 kcal/mol) > asphaltene (−840.98 kcal/mol) > resin (−694.42 kcal/mol). The interaction energy of light fractions such as saturate and aromatic with CR was stronger, indicating that CR will physically adsorb with light fractions.
- (2)
- In aged CRMA, the absolute value of the interaction energy between CR and each fraction was calculated as resin > aromatic > asphaltene > saturate. The magnitude relationship of the normalized fitting results was obtained as resin (−964.07 kcal/mol) > aromatic (−927.88 kcal/mol) > asphaltene (−832.68 kcal/mol) > saturate (−853.38 kcal/mol). The interaction energy between saturates and CR became weaker, and the interaction energy between resin and CR became stronger after aging.
3.5. Asphalt–Aggregate Interface Interaction
- (1)
- The asphalt–aggregate interfacial adhesion work was affected by the aggregate type. The adhesion work of CaCO3 with asphalt was greater than that of SiO2. The difference between the adhesion work of the two aggregates with different asphalts was in the range of 22.5–39.9%. Because SiO2 was an acidic aggregate, and CaCO3 was a basic aggregate, acidic aggregates had worse adhesion properties with asphalt [47]. It can also be seen that the adhesion work diffusion law was consistent with the diffusion law of asphalt and its fractions on different aggregate surfaces. Aggregates with strong adherence were slower to diffuse. Aggregates with less adhesion work spread faster.
- (2)
- After adding CR, the asphalt–SiO2 interfacial adhesion work decreased by 5.2%, and the asphalt–CaCO3 interfacial adhesion work did not change much. This indicated that adding CR reduced the adhesion properties at the asphalt–aggregate interface. It should be emphasized that this conclusion presupposes that the mass of base asphalt in CRMA was equal to the modeled mass of base asphalt in the asphalt–aggregate adhesion model. This also indirectly verified that the optimal oil/stone ratio of CRMA mixes was larger than that of base asphalt mixes when designing CRMA mix ratios [48].
4. Conclusions
- (1)
- Compared to the base asphalt, the mechanical modulus of CRMA increased by 23–43%, and the diffusion coefficient decreased by about 31%. This indicated that the CR enhanced the interactions between the asphalt systems, improving the mechanical properties. The CR inhibited the movement of the asphalt components (especially saturate and aromatic) through interactions with the asphalt components.
- (2)
- The Sp difference between aged asphalt and CR was about four times that before aging. It indicated that the compatibility between asphalt and CR deteriorated obviously after aging. Therefore, compatibility should be a key concern when rubberized asphalt is recycled.
- (3)
- The shear modulus and Young’s modulus of both base asphalt and CRMA decreased after aging. The decrease for CRMA was smaller than that of base asphalt. The diffusion coefficient of the base asphalt decreased by about 10% after aging, but the CRMA remained stable. This indicated that CR could improve the mechanical stability of the base asphalt. This is attributed to the CR inhibiting the diffusion of asphalt components, providing CRMA with better aging resistance.
- (4)
- The adhesion work of CaCO3 with asphalt was greater than that of SiO2, and the difference between the adhesion work of the two aggregates with different asphalts was 22.5–39.9%. It can be seen that the diffusion law of adhesion work was consistent with the diffusion law of asphalt. Aggregates with stronger adhesion had slower diffusion rates. Aggregates with less adhesion had a faster diffusion rate.
