DBSA was used as a solubilizer together with conventional rejuvenator (CR) to produce a solubilized rejuvenator (SR), two kinds of aged bitumen involving TFOT aged bitumen and PAV aged bitumen were obtained by thin film oven test (TFOT) and pressurized aging vessel (PAV), respectively. Effects of CR and SR on the physical properties, chemical components, colloidal structure and micro-morphology of TFOT aged bitumen and PAV aged bitumen were investigated. Testing results of physical properties and chemical components indicated that CR and SR can replenish aged bitumen with necessary aromatics, TFOT aged bitumen that chemical component variation deteriorates its physical properties. With regard to PAV aged bitumen, of which the performance attenuation lies in chemical components variation and colloidal structure transformation, even if the content of CR reached up to 10 wt %, the regenerated bitumen cannot meet the regeneration requirement yet due to its definite influence on colloidal structure transformation, comparatively, sulfonic group in SR can react with the superficial atoms of asphaltenes to reform a solvation layer to facilitate the colloidal structure transformation of PAV aged bitumen, performance and beelike structure of regenerated PAV aged with bitumen with 10 wt % SR were approximated to that of virgin bitumen.

Abstract A new series of polypyrrole doped with n-dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid/reduced graphene oxide (PPy-DBSA/rGO) nanocomposite was electrodeposited on Indium tin oxide coated Polyethylene terephthalate (ITO/PET) flexible substrate by electrochemical route using the chronoamperometric technique. As-prepared for testing of chemiresistive properties against the detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) vapors at room temperature. The sensitivity and reactivity of the composite toward NO2 was evaluated. The recorded morphological and structural data confirmed that the PPy-DBSA/rGO forms a homogeneous nanocomposite. The optimal NO2 sensing properties have been revealed by the PPy-DBSA/rGO in terms of response (43%), response time (30.25 s), the detection limit (1ppm), and reproducibility. Furthermore, Results showed that the doped by sulfonic acid improved both the sensitivity and the reactivity of our produced nanocomposite toward NO2. Due to the strong interactions between the NO2 gas molecules and the rGO was dramatically enhanced the electronic properties of these nanocomposites. These striking characteristics of the newly developed nanocomposites make them very suitable to be used as NO2 gas sensor.
