The Effect of Hatch Spacing on the Electrochemistry and Discharge Performance of a CeO2/Al6061 Anode for an Al-Air Battery via Selective Laser Melting

To improve the electrochemical activity and discharge performance of an aluminum-air (Al-air) battery, a commercial 6061 alloy (Al6061) was selected as the anode, and CeO2 was also added inside the anode to enhance its performance. The CeO2/Al6061 composite was prepared using selective laser melting (SLM) technology. The influence of hatch spacing on the forming quality, corrosion resistance, and discharge performance of the anode was studied in detail. The results showed that with an increase in hatch spacing, the density, corrosion resistance, and discharge performance of the anode first increased and then decreased. When the hatch spacing is 0.13 mm, the anode has the best forming quality. At this point, the density reaches 98.39%, and the self-corrosion rate (SCR) decreases to 2.596 × 10−4 g·cm−2·min−1. Meanwhile, the anode exhibits its highest electrochemical activity and discharge voltage, which is up to −1.570 V. The change in anode performance is related to the defects generated during the SLM forming process. For samples with fewer defects, the anode can dissolve uniformly, while for samples with more defects, the electrode solution is prone to penetrate the defects, causing uneven corrosion and reducing electrochemical and discharge activity.

Sustainability inspired fabrication of next generation neurostimulation and cardiac rhythm management electrodes via reactive hierarchical surface restructuring

Over the last two decades, platinum group metals (PGMs) and their alloys have dominated as the materials of choice for electrodes in long-term implantable neurostimulation and cardiac rhythm management devices due to their superior conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, radiopacity, and electrochemical performance. Despite these benefits, PGM manufacturing processes are extremely costly, complex, and challenging with potential health hazards. Additionally, the volatility in PGM prices and their high supply risk, combined with their scarce concentration of approximately 0.01 ppm in the earth’s upper crust and limited mining geographical areas, underscores their classification as critical raw materials, thus, their effective recovery or substitution worldwide is of paramount importance. Since postmortem recovery from deceased patients and/or refining of PGMs that are used in the manufacturing of the electrodes and microelectrode arrays is extremely rare, challenging, and highly costly, therefore, substitution of PGM-based electrodes with other biocompatible materials that can yield electrochemical performance values equal or greater than PGMs is the only viable and sustainable solution to reduce and ultimately substitute the use of PGMs in long-term implantable neurostimulation and cardiac rhythm management devices. In this article, we demonstrate for the first time how the novel technique of “reactive hierarchical surface restructuring” can be utilized on titanium—that is widely used in many non-stimulation medical device and implant applications—to manufacture biocompatible, low-cost, sustainable, and high-performing neurostimulation and cardiac rhythm management electrodes. We have shown how the surface of titanium electrodes with extremely poor electrochemical performance undergoes compositional and topographical transformations that result in electrodes with outstanding electrochemical performance.

Application of wet carbon black masterbatch in green mining radial tires

AbstractIn the context of environmental protection and energy consumption reduction, reducing the rolling resistance of mining machinery tires is one of the important methods to achieve the goal of green mining. This study probes the effects of wet mixing with a wet carbon black masterbatch on the rolling resistance and grounding performance of wide‐body vehicle tire treads by investigating the cross‐linking structure, rubber–filler (R–F) interaction force, and physicomechanical properties of the wet mixing rubber compounded with a wet carbon black masterbatch. The results indicate decreases in the maximum torque‐minimum torque difference, cross‐link density, and R–F interaction of the wet mixing rubber and increased filler–filler (F–F) interaction and carbon black dispersion. Meanwhile, the tensile elongation of the wet mixing rubber increases, its DIN abrasion property improves, and its Tanδ decreases at 60°C. A numerical method to estimate tire steady‐state rolling resistance is also developed. Finite element simulation analysis reveals that the steady‐state rolling resistance of the wet mixing rubber is reduced by 7.04% at 100% standard load, and its grounding performance is enhanced. By proposing a method to reduce the rolling resistance of tires, this study also provides a reference for the development of wide‐body vehicle tires.Highlights Explored the filler interaction of wet mixing rubber. Explained the low energy loss of wet mixing rubber. Proposed a new finite element method for calculating tire rolling resistance.

Scalable Layer-Controlled Oxidation of Bi2O2Se for Self-Rectifying Memristor Arrays With sub-pA Sneak Currents.

Smart memristors with innovative properties are crucial for the advancement of next-generation information storage and bioinspired neuromorphic computing. However, the presence of significant sneak currents in large-scale memristor arrays results in operational errors and heat accumulation, hindering their practical utility. This study successfully synthesizes a quasi-free-standing Bi2O2Se single-crystalline film and achieves layer-controlled oxidation by developing large-scale UV-assisted intercalative oxidation, resulting β-Bi2SeO5/Bi2O2Se heterostructures. The resulting β-Bi2SeO5/Bi2O2Se memristor demonstrates remarkable self-rectifying resistive switching performance (over 105 for ON/OFF and rectification ratios, as well as nonlinearity) in both nanoscale (through conductive atomic force microscopy) and microscale (through memristor array) regimes. Furthermore, the potential for scalable production of self-rectifying β-Bi2SeO5/Bi2O2Se memristor, achieving sub-pA sneak currents to minimize cross-talk effects in high-density memristor arrays is demonstrated. The memristors also exhibit ultrafast resistive switching (sub-100ns) and low power consumption (1.2 pJ) as characterized by pulse-mode testing. The findings suggest a synergetic effect of interfacial Schottky barriers and oxygen vacancy migration as the self-rectifying switching mechanism, elucidated through controllable β-Bi2SeO5 thickness modulation and theoretical ab initio calculations.

Fire Resistance Performance of Constrained H-Shaped Steel Columns with Uneven Vertical Temperature Distributions

Steel columns, which are widely used in building frameworks and spatial structures, are susceptible to capacity degradation during fires, potentially leading to the overall collapse of buildings. Existing research on the fire resistance of steel columns assumes that the temperature loads encountered by steel columns are evenly distributed vertically. However, real-world fire scenarios often feature significant vertical temperature differences. Therefore, this study comprehensively investigated these variations to derive a temperature curve that accurately represents real fire conditions. Subsequently, the fire resistance limits of steel columns were studied using this temperature curve, leading to a revised calculation formula for the critical fire resistance temperatures of steel columns. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) Nonuniform longitudinal temperature distributions are influenced by parameters such as the fire source distance, the heights of ventilation openings, and the distance between a vent and the temperature measurement point. Among them, the fire source distance has the greatest impact, with the maximum longitudinal temperature difference reaching over 500 °C. (2) Variations in the load ratio and longitudinal temperature differences alter the failure positions of steel columns, reducing their critical temperatures by up to 200 °C. (3) The revised critical fire resistance temperature formula is more accurate and safer compared with that outlined in the “Technical Code for Fire Protection of Steel Structures” (GB51249-2017). These findings offer valuable insights for the fire designs of steel columns.

Study on impact resistance performance of MSWIFA-based low-carbon fiber-reinforced concrete

The accumulation of carbide slag (CS), red mud (RM), and municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA) has led to significant environmental pollution issues, necessitating urgent resource utilization. Building upon the previously developed CS-MSWIFA synergistic activation RM-slag cementitious system, this study aims to further incorporate iron tailings sand and polypropylene fibers to prepare fiber-reinforced concrete. The systematic investigation focuses on the influence of cementitious material types, aggregate types, fiber shapes, lengths, and dosages on the impact resistance of concrete. Furthermore, an impact damage evolution equation and life prediction model were developed based on the two-parameter Weibull distribution. Results indicate that the type of cementitious material and aggregate has minimal influence on the impact resistance of concrete, while the addition of fibers significantly enhances its impact resistance, shifting the failure mode from brittle to ductile. Mesh polypropylene fibers with a length of 12 mm and a volume dosage of 1.0 % demonstrate excellent impact resistance, with initial and final crack numbers reaching 78 and 105, respectively. This represents an increase of 136.4 % and 200.0 % compared to the control concrete without fibers. The findings of this study offer new avenues for the resource utilization of solid waste and provide theoretical foundations and technical support for the potential application of solid waste based fiber-reinforced concrete in structural engineering.

Accurate prediction of antimicrobial resistance and genetic marker of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates using MALDI-TOF MS and machine learning – across DRIAMS and Taiwan database

BackgroundThe use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-time-of-flight mass spectra (MALDI-TOF MS) with machine learning (ML) has been explored for predicting antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluates the effectiveness of MALDI-TOF MS paired with various ML classifiers and establishes optimal models for predicting antimicrobial resistance and the presence of mecA gene among Staphylococcus aureus. Materials and MethodsAntimicrobial resistance against tier 1 antibiotics and MALDI-TOF MS of S. aureus were analysed using data from the Database of Resistance against Antimicrobials with MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry (DRIAMS) and one medical centre (CS database). Five ML classifiers were used to analyse performance metrics. The Shapley value quantified the predictive contribution of individual features. ResultsThe LightGBM demonstrated superior performance in predicting antimicrobial resistance for most tier 1 antibiotics among oxacillin-resistant S. aureus (ORSA) compared with all S. aureus and oxacillin-susceptible S. aureus (OSSA) in both databases. In DRIAMS, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was associated with excellent predictive performance, expressed as accuracy/AUROC/AUPR, for clindamycin (0.74/0.81/0.90), tetracycline (0.86/0.87/0.94), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (0.95/0.72/0.97). In the CS database, Ada and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) showed excellent performance for erythromycin (0.97/0.92/0.86) and tetracycline (0.68/0.79/0.86). Mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) features of 2411–2414 and 2429–2432 correlated with clindamycin resistance, whereas 5033–5036 was linked to erythromycin resistance in DRIAMS. In the CS database, overlapping features of 2423–2426, 4496–4499, and 3764–3767 simultaneously predicted the presence of mecA and oxacillin resistance. ConclusionThe predictive performance of antimicrobial resistance against S. aureus using MALDI-TOF MS depends on database characteristics and the ML algorithm selected. Specific and overlapping mass spectra features are excellent predictive markers for mecA and specific antimicrobial resistance.

Enhanced oxidation resistance and electrochemical performance of PEMFC gas diffusion layer through [EMIM][TFSI] ionic liquid coating

The performance and durability of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are critically hindered by the oxidation susceptibility of graphite felt gas diffusion layers (GDLs). This study addresses this challenge by employing a protective coating of 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide ([EMIM][TFSI]) on the GDL through a dip-coating method, followed by thermal curing to ensure uniform distribution and strong adherence. Comprehensive characterization, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), confirmed the homogeneous coating, adhesion, and maintained porosity and gas diffusion properties of the GDL. The coated GDL exhibited a substantial increase in oxidation resistance, resulting in higher hydrophobicity with a contact angle of approximately 131°, compared to 96° for the uncoated GDL. Electrochemical analyses revealed that the [EMIM][TFSI]-coated GDL achieved a current density of 27 mA cm−2 at 0.925 V, surpassing the 19 mA cm−2 of the uncoated GDL at 0.91 V during cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis. This study is limited by the short-term stability tests and the specific environmental conditions under which the experiments were conducted. Future work will focus on optimizing the coating process for varied environmental conditions and exploring the scalability of this technique for practical applications.

Development of a Superhydrophobic Protection Mechanism and Coating Materials for Cement Concrete Surfaces.

In order to further enhance the erosion resistance of cement concrete pavement materials, this study constructed an apparent rough hydrophobic structure layer by spraying a micro-nano substrate coating on the surface layer of the cement concrete pavement. This was followed by a secondary spray of a hydroxy-silicone oil-modified epoxy resin and a low surface energy-modified substance paste, which combine to form a superhydrophobic coating. The hydrophobic mechanism of the coating was then analysed. Firstly, the effects of different types and ratios of micro-nano substrates on the apparent morphology and hydrophobic performance of the rough structure layer were explored through contact angle testing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Subsequently, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and permeation gel chromatography were employed to ascertain the optimal modification ratio, temperature, and reaction mechanism of hydroxy-silicone oil with E51 type epoxy resin. Additionally, the mechanical properties of the modified epoxy resin-low surface energy-modified substance paste were evaluated through tensile tests. Finally, the erosion resistance of the superhydrophobic coating was tested under a range of conditions, including acidic, alkaline, de-icer, UV ageing, freeze-thaw cycles and wet wheel wear. The results demonstrate that relying solely on the rough structure of the concrete surface makes it challenging to achieve superhydrophobic performance. A rough structure layer constructed with diamond micropowder and hydrophobic nano-silica is less prone to cracking and can form more "air chamber" structures on the surface, with better wear resistance and hydrophobic performance. The ring-opening reaction products that occur during the preparation of modified epoxy resin will severely affect its mechanical strength after curing. Controlling the reaction temperature and reactant ratio can effectively push the modification reaction of epoxy resin through dehydration condensation, which produces more grafted polymer. It is noteworthy that the grafted polymer content is positively correlated with the hydrophobicity of the modified epoxy resin. The superhydrophobic coating exhibited enhanced erosion resistance (based on hydrochloric acid), UV ageing resistance, abrasion resistance, and freeze-thaw damage resistance to de-icers by 19.41%, 18.36%, 43.17% and 87.47%, respectively, in comparison to the conventional silane-based surface treatment.

Assessment of the Effectiveness of Vibration Therapy and Passive Rest on the Recovery of Muscular Strength and Plasma Lactate Levels in the Upper Limbs after Intense Anaerobic Exercise in Elite Boxers and Kickboxers

Background: High-intensity anaerobic physical training frequently leads to muscle fatigue among boxers and kickboxers. Vibrational therapy (VT) and passive rest (PR) have been employed as methods to enhance muscular recovery and performance. This study evaluates the effectiveness of these two recovery methods on upper limb muscle strength and lactate levels in plasma after high-intensity exertion. Methods: Eighteen elite boxers and kickboxers, aged 19–32 years, underwent tests employing VT and PR as recovery methods in a controlled, crossover study. Muscle performance was assessed via isokinetic dynamometry, and lactate levels were measured pre-exercise, post-exercise, and post-recovery. The study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki guidelines and was approved by the relevant bioethics committee. Results: The results showed that VT led to a faster recruitment of muscle fibers and improved muscle endurance as indicated by decreased fatigue work indices compared to PR. However, no significant differences were observed in peak torque or lactate levels between the two recovery methods. The VT group exhibited quicker recovery times in torque generation and better performance in fatigue resistance. Conclusions: VT appears to provide superior muscular recovery compared to PR following intense anaerobic effort, particularly in terms of muscle strength endurance and activation speed. These findings support the potential of VT in sports recovery protocols, although similar lactate response suggests that metabolic recovery rates are not significantly affected.

A Study on Microstructural Evolution and Corrosion Behavior of Ti36-Al16-V16-Fe16-Cr16 High-Entropy Alloy Fabricated via Spark Plasma Sintering Technology

AbstractThis study focused on the synthesis of Ti36-Al16-V16-Fe16-Cr16 high-entropy alloys (HEAs) through spark plasma sintering to ascertain their corrosion resistance performance. Varied sintering temperatures, ranging from 700 to 1100 °C were employed to discern their impact on the alloy's characteristics. The fabricated HEAs underwent characterization using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. A potentiodynamic polarization measurement was employed to compare the electrochemical properties of HEAs sintered at different temperatures in sulfuric and chloride aggressive media. The study outcomes indicate that the HEA sintered at 1000 °C exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared to other HEAs at other temperatures. This study contributes valuable insights into the nuanced relationship between sintering temperature, microstructure, and corrosion resistance of Ti36-Al16-V16-Fe16-Cr16 HEAs.

SO2 removal performance and breakthrough prediction of activated carbon-based chemical filters for electronics cleanroom air purification

Electronic cleanrooms have strict control requirements for SO2 concentration due its significant influence on product yield, and application of chemical filters is the main measure of SO2 control. In this study, 8 activated carbon (AC)-based chemical filters were collected and tested for their SO2 purification performance and resistance. These filters had very similar initial efficiencies (all >95 %) but large differences in 20 % breakthrough adsorption capacity (49–294 g at 9 ppm and 0.35 m/s). The adsorption capacity is found to be positively correlated with pleat density, which is a main structural parameter of pleated chemical filter. Meanwhile, the filter resistance (9.3–34 Pa at 0.35 m/s) demonstrates a decreasing and then increasing trend with increasing pleat density. This indicated the existence of an optimal range of pleat numbers that can be used to achieve a balance between resistance and adsorption capacity. A comprehensive performance evaluation index (Z′-index) is proposed for assessing the integrated resistant and adsorption capacity performance of chemical filters (19–210 g/W for 8 samples). A lumped parameter model was proposed for predicting the breakthrough curves at low concentration based on the traditional semi-empirical breakthrough models. The prediction deviation of the breakthrough curve at real cleanroom scenario (2 ppb) is less than 15 %. In addition, a rapid filter life prediction method based on filter design parameters is developed from the lumped parameter model. This work helps the understanding of the impact of filter structure parameters on performance and facilitate the development of high-performance chemical filters for SO2 contaminant control in electronic cleanrooms.

Design and Optimization of the Shape of a Single-person Submersible based on ANSYS

Due to the complex growth environment of wild sea cucumbers, the difficulty and low efficiency of traditional ROV identification, at present, wild sea cucumber fishing is mainly obtained through manual fishing, in order to ensure the life safety of divers and improve the fishing efficiency of sea cucumbers, new ideas and solutions for single-man submersibles suitable for shallow water operations are proposed. Under the condition of ensuring the driver's operating space, the shape and structure of an easy-to-process manned submersible are designed to optimize its resistance performance. Creo was used to establish a model of a single-man submersible for shape design, and three design schemes were proposed: scheme 1 flat spindle type, scheme 2 imitation unmanned boat type, and scheme 3 imitation airfoil type. The drag performance of the single-man submersible is simulated and analyzed by using the Fluent module in the analytical fluid dynamics simulation software Ansys, and the results show that the drag performance of scheme 3 imitation airfoil type is better than that of other schemes.The conclusion was verified by simple experiments.It provides effective reference information for the subsequent structural optimization of single-man submersibles.

Effect of low-content crumb rubber modification on the performance of bitumen and asphalt

The performance of flexible pavements is greatly influenced by rutting, fatigue, and durability, leading to premature failures under environmental conditions. The limitations of traditional bitumen in flexible asphalt pavements are due to the significant rise in traffic loads and volumes. The reason for incorporating tire waste into bitumen is its incredible qualities and economical price as a bitumen modifier. The quality of crumb rubber (CR)-modified bitumen mainly depends on the concentration of low-content CR dispersed into the base bitumen. The primary target of this research is to modify the bitumen with low-content CR to improve the thermal properties, rheology, rutting resistance, fatigue resistance, and moisture-damaged performance. The three concentrations, i.e., 5%, 10%, and 15% of CR, were selected based on extensive preliminary trials when dispersed in conventional 60/70 penetration grade bitumen. The consistency and mixture test results concluded that the optimum dosage of CR-10% provides a 20% improvement in thermal performance, a 15% increase in rheological stability, a 25% enhancement in rutting resistance, a 30% boost in fatigue resistance, and a 10% reduction in moisture damage susceptibility. The inclusion of CR makes rubberized asphalt an attractive and effective solution for highway construction, aligning with sustainable construction practices. The findings demonstrate that low-content CR-modified asphalt improved the durability of asphalt mixtures against moisture-induced damage and other benefits, such as reduced cracking and maintenance requirements. The CR technology led to a significant subsidization in the environmental impact of asphalt paving from 5 to 10% compared to standard paving applications.

Research of the anti-static and corrosion resistance of S-ZnO/m-SWCNTs/ FC composite coating

Abstract In order to solve the hazards caused by corrosion and charge accumulation in aircraft, electronic equipment, oil and gas pipelines, the corrosion resistance and anti-static performance of coatings need to be noted. In this study, monodisperse single-walled carbon nanotubes functional slurry (m-SWCNTs) was obtained by the combination of high-energy ultrasonic dispersion and non-covalent amphiphilic dispersant (PVP). In this way, the uniform dispersion of low-content m-SWCNTs in fluorocarbon composite coatings was achieved, and the micronano structured surface of the fluorocarbon composite coating was constructed by using the modified-ZnO in order to achieve superhydrophobicity. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of the fluorocarbon composite coating was further improved and the antistatic property of the composite coating met the use requirements, which was achieved through the synergistic effect of the m-SWCNTs network and the modified-ZnO. The resistivity of S-ZnO/m-SWCNTs/FC coating is 3.15 Ωm, acting as anti-static coating to reduce safety hazards, its corrosion current is 9.66×10−8 A/cm2, which is lower than bare steel by 3 orders of magnitude. Meanwhile, the composite coating owns the self-cleaning, superhydrophobic and organic solvent affinity, acting as oil-water separation coating. This research provides a new idea for the fabrication of multifunctional coating, elucidating the significant potential of its applications.

Numerical simulations of a ship sailing across pack ice area in forward motion under different drafts

Different from the existing CFD-DEM models in which the ship remains stationary, a CFD-DEM model with the ship in forward motion is proposed in this paper to simulate the process of a ship sailing across pack ice area at a forward speed under different drafts. A high-precision method for generating pack ice area on the undisturbed free surface that can be used in conjunction with the proposed model is introduced. Taking an ice-strengthened Panamax bulker as study object, the available model test results are used to verify the reliability of the proposed model, which shows that the model can effectively evaluate the resistance performance and simulate the ship-ice-water interaction. Based on the verified model, the ice resistances on different parts of the hull are first investigated, which reveals that the ice resistance of the bow is most significant, while those of the midship and stern are negligible. Then, the speed dependence of ice resistance under different drafts is studied. It shows a strong nonlinearity under shallow draft, while the nonlinearity gradually weakens as the draft increases. Finally, the proportions of ice resistance and open-water resistance in the total resistance under different drafts and ship speeds are discussed.

Facile fabrication of robust, multi-functional and superhydrophobic coatings with corrosion resistance and anti-icing performance

In this paper, a series of superhydrophobic coatings with varying n-SiO2 content were prepared using a simple one-step spray method. The coatings were characterized with SEM, XPS, electrochemical workstation, AFM, etc. The influence of n-SiO2 content on the micro-nanostructure of the coatings was investigated, as well as the elemental composition, the wettability, mechanical stability, chemical stability, and anti-icing performance. The results showed that as the n-SiO2 content increased, the wettability and anti-icing time of the coatings initially increased and then decreased. The optimal performance was achieved at an n-SiO2 content of 4.16 wt%, with a contact angle of 162.62°, a sliding angle of 4.17°, and an anti-icing time of 1095 s. Mechanical stability was improved with increasing n-SiO2 content, and the coatings lasted for 40 sandpaper abrasion cycles, 55 tape peeling cycles, and 31 icing/deicing cycles at 4.88 wt% of n-SiO2. The coatings demonstrated good chemical stability in neutral and acidic environments but failed in strongly alkaline conditions. Electrochemical tests revealed that the superhydrophobic coatings provided excellent protection, with the corrosion inhibition efficiency (η) of Q235 carbon steel reaching 99.99 % after coating compared to uncoated Q235 carbon steel.

Mechanochemical Upcycling of Waste Polypropylene into Warm-Mix Modifier for Asphalt Pavement Incorporating Recycled Concrete Aggregates.

To solve the problems on resource utilization and environmental pollution of waste concrete and waste polypropylene (PP) plastics, the recycling of them into asphalt pavement is a feasible approach. Considering the high melting temperature of waste PP, this study adopted a thermal-and-mechanochemical method to convert waste PP into high-performance warm-mix asphalt modifiers (PPMs) through the hybrid use of dicumyl peroxide (DCP), maleic anhydride (MAH), and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) for preparing an asphalt mixture (RCAAM) containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). For the prepared RCAAM containing PPMs, the mixing temperature was about 30 °C lower than that of the hot-mix RCAAM containing untreated PP. Further, the high-temperature property, low-temperature crack resistance, moisture-induced damage resistance, and fatigue resistance of the RCAAM were characterized. The results indicated that the maximum flexural strain of the RCAAM increased by 7.8~21.4% after using PPMs, while the sectional fractures of the asphalt binder were reduced after damaging at low temperature. The use of ESO in PPMs can promote the cohesion enhancement of the asphalt binder and also improve the high-temperature deformation resistance and fatigue performance of the RCAAM. Notably, the warm-mix epoxidized PPMA mixture worked better close to the hot-mix untreated PPMA mixture, even after the mixing temperature was reduced by 30 °C.
