Abstract
The interaction between asphalt and aggregate surfaces before and after low-temperature storage (reversible, irreversible, or both) at various film thicknesses was investigated by means of the sliding plate geometry with standard Pyrex glass plates and machined aggregate plates. The study of storage and setting in thin films of asphalts on aggregate surfaces indicates that asphalts interact differently and unpredictably with aggregate surfaces. The phenomenon of steric hardening in thin films appears to be retarded (compared with the same phenomenon in bulk asphalts) during short storage times but is enhanced in contact with aggregate surfaces after several weeks’ storage.
