In order to explore the applicability of the rejuvenated asphalt with wood tar as the main raw material, the orthogonal test was used to determine the optimal ratio of wood tar-based rejuvenator. The physical properties, rheological properties and components of matrix asphalt, aged asphalt, wood tar-based rejuvenated asphalt and commercial RA-102# rejuvenated asphalt were tested and compared. The results show that the optimal ratio of wood tar-based rejuvenator is 15wt% wood tar, 0.3wt% biomass fiber, 5wt% plasticizer, 0.3wt% compatibilizer, and 1wt% stabilizer of the mass of aged asphalt. Wood tar-based rejuvenator can restore the physical properties of the aged asphalt to meet the specification requirements. The synergistic effect of biomass fiber and plasticizer make the wood tar-based rejuvenated asphalt has good resistance to accumulated permanent deformation, but its low-temperature cracking resistance needs to be further improved. During the rejuvenation process of aged asphalt, the colloidal state changes from gel-state to sol-state, characterizing that the viscosity of asphalt decreased and the fluidity increased. Wood tar-based rejuvenator can react with aged asphalt to weaken the vibration strength of carbonyl and sulfoxide groups, so as to realize the recovery of service performance. Wood tar-based rejuvenator has better environmental protection and applicability, which is worthy of further study and promotion.

Using crumb rubber to modify asphalt binder can not only improve the binder properties, but also shows environmental and economical advantages. To evaluate the function of the RM modifier in binders, physical properties and rheological properties were investigated. Specifically, the high and low temperature sweep methods was used to investigate influence that the RM on rheological properties of binders. Results showed that binder modification using the RM produces significant increase in both physical properties and rheological properties. Consequently, enhanced resistance to permanent deformation, increased low-temperature cracking and reduced temperature sensitivity can be expected in RM binder.

A new rational mechanistic model for analysis and design of flexible pavement systems has been developed. Furthermore, a fundamental probabilistic approach was incorporated into this system to account for the uncertainty of material and environmental conditions. The system was integrated in a user-friendly Windows program with a variety of user-selected options that include widely used models and those recently developed in the Strategic Highway Research Program project. Three basic types of distress can be investigated separately or all together, including fatigue cracking, permanent deformation, and low-temperature cracking. The mechanistic approach makes use of the JULEA layered elastic analysis program to obtain pavement response. The system provides optional deterministic and probabilistic solutions, accounts for aging and temperature effects over the asphalt materials, variable interface friction, multiple wheel loads, and user-selected locations for analysis. Tabular and graphical results provide expected distress values for each month as well as their variability, probability of failure, and assessment of the overall reliability of the pavement relative to each type of distress for a user-selected failure criterion. Only the load-associated module of AYMA is presented; a separate work describes the low-temperature cracking analysis.

Abstract The paper presents an influence of raw material composition and technological process applied on selected physical properties of food powders. Powdered multi-component nutrients were subjected to the process of mixing, agglomeration, coating, and drying. Wetting liquids ie water and a 15% water lactose solution, were used in agglomeration and coating. The analyzed food powders were characterized by differentiated physical properties, including especially: particle size, bulk density, wettability, and dispersibility. The raw material composition of the studied nutrients exerted a statistically significant influence on their physical properties. Agglomeration as well as coating of food powders caused a significant increase in particle size, decreased bulk density, increased apparent density and porosity, and deterioration in flowability in comparison with non-agglomerated nutrients.

Archaeological ceramics refers to products made primarily of clay and containing variable amounts of lithic and other materials as well. The term ceramic is derived from the Greek keramos, which has been translated as "earthenware" or "burned stuff." Ceramics include products that have been fired, primarily pottery but also brick, tile, glass, plaster, and cement as well. Since pottery is by far the most important archaeologically, and the methods of sampling and study are largely applicable to the others, this chapter is devoted primarily to pottery. Pottery then is the general term used here for artifacts made entirely or largely of clay and hardened by heat. Today, a distinction is sometimes made between pottery, applied to lower-quality ceramic wares, and the higher-grade product porcelain. No such distinction will be made here, so the term pottery alone will be used. Raw material that goes into the making of a pot includes primarily clay, but also varying amounts of temper, which is added to make the material more manageable and to help preserve the worked shape of the pot during firing. Of primary interest in ceramic studies are 1. the nature and the source of the raw materials—clays, temper, and slip (applied surface pigment)—and a reconstruction of the working methods of ancient potters; 2. the physical properties of the raw materials, from their preparation as a clay-temper body through their transformations during manufacture into a final ceramic product; 3. the nature of the chemical and mineral reactions that take place during firing as a clue to the technology available to the potter; and 4. the uses, provenance, and trade of the wares produced. Much of the information needed to answer these questions is available through standard geochemical and petrographic analysis of ceramic artifacts. Insight into the working methods of ancient potters also has been obtained through ethnographic studies of cultures where, because of isolation or conservative traditions or both, ancient methods have been preserved.

Over the past few decades, with the development of science and technology, the field of biomedicine has rapidly developed, especially with respect to biomedical materials. Low toxicity and good biocompatibility have always been key targets in the development and application of biomedical materials. As a degradable and environmentally friendly polymer, polylactic acid, also known as polylactide, is favored by researchers and has been used as a commercial material in various studies. Lactic acid, as a synthetic raw material of polylactic acid, can only be obtained by sugar fermentation. Good biocompatibility and biodegradability have led it to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a biomedical material. Polylactic acid has good physical properties, and its modification can optimize its properties to a certain extent. Polylactic acid blocks and blends play significant roles in drug delivery, implants, and tissue engineering to great effect. This article describes the synthesis of polylactic acid (PLA) and its raw materials, physical properties, degradation, modification, and applications in the field of biomedicine. It aims to contribute to the important knowledge and development of PLA in biomedical applications.
