Importance for asphalt


Asphalt surface tension gives:
Cohesive properties
Adhesive properties

Time and temperature susceptible


Cohesive strength property may
need further investigation

Filmetrics Thin-film
Measurement System

Storing Conditions

Use ~ 1.0 m films


Keep samples in dry box
Purge box with nitrogen gas
Keep samples at room temperature

Contact Mechanics Model of


an Interface
At the JKR and DMT Limits

JKR
Adds load to the model
Does not account for adhesion outside the contact area
Large probe, very soft surface, high surface energy

DMT
Adds friction as well as load to the model
Accounts for adhesion outside the contact area
Wetting

Small probe, hard surface, low surface energy
