To study the performance of bitumen mixture pavement sealants from their micro-mechanisms, physical properties base bitumen, SBS-modified and epoxy resin sealant as well adhesive sealant-aggregate interfaces were studied using a molecular dynamics simulation. The adhesion sealant-pavement crack wall was contact angle test based on surface energy theory. results show that has excellent propertie...

Abstract A model is proposed herein to investigate the incipient sliding of contacts in presence both friction and adhesion, where interfacial response modeled based on traction-separation laws. Maugis-like parameter defined characterize tangential direction. Subsequently, used contact between a smooth cylinder flat body, adhesion-friction interactions are strong. range behaviors observed when ...

The study of adhesion has a long and rich history, with theory, experiments, and applications bridging numerous disciplines, including physics, chemistry, engineering, and medicine. This diverse interest has led to the development of a large number of methods for both enhancing and inhibiting adhesion at specific interfaces of interest. We report herein "smart" adhesion at a polymer/metal (oxid...

Interfacial adhesion between graphene and a SiO2 substrate is studied by density functional theory (DFT) with dispersion corrections. The results demonstrate the van der Waals (vdW) interaction as the predominant mechanism at the graphene/SiO2 interface. It is found that the interaction strength is strongly influenced by changes of the SiO2 surface structures due to surface reactions with water...
