Effect of Nano Hydrotalcite on the Aging Resistance of a High Binder Content Stone Mastic Asphalt

Hydrotalcite, a type of layered double hydroxide (LDH), reveals an interesting potential for the modification of bitumen. The LDH can induce a barrier effect that prevents the loss of volatiles, retards oxidation, and protects against ultraviolet radiation. Such properties can enhance the aging resi...
