Synergistic hybrid effect of nano fillers on the structure and properties of asphalt composites.

The CNTs/nano ZnO/SBS/asphalt composites with different CNTs content were prepared by solution casting method. The morphology of the composite shows that the dispersion of SBS is improved by the synergistic hybrid effect of CNTs and nano ZnO. Good dispersion is beneficial for enhancing the adsorption of lightweight components, thereby effectively improving the temperature range of asphalt use. At the same time, the increase in the proportion of asphaltene leads to an increase in the number of honeycomb structures, the surface roughness of composite materials, as well as the water contact angle.
