This study explores the role of nanomaterials in the performance of asphalt binders and mixtures. Two commonly available
nanomaterials, i.e., nanosilica (NS) and nanoalumina (NA), were used at contents of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% by weight of
asphalt binder. A set of experiments was carried out at the binder level to investigate properties such as penetration,
softening point, aging-related mass loss, nanomaterial dispersion (storage stability), and workability (rotational viscosity).
In addition, the suitability of NS and NS was also assessed through the testing of nanomodified asphalt mixtures, which
focused on Marshall properties, the resilient modulus, moisture susceptibility, permanent deformation, and fatigue resistance.
The findings in
