Effect of graphene oxide dosage on the thermal and rheological behavior of asphalt for tropical road conditions Open
This study investigates graphene oxide (GO) as a low-percent modifier for AC-30 asphalt used in tropical conditions. GO was added at 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 wt% and tested through standard binder tests and RTFO short-term aging. Unaged binders w…
