Bitumen project in Africa Bitumen project moving slowly due economic issue and rainy season in Africa.The pressure on road paving is increasing for a variety of reasons including climate change and rising average ambient air temperatures. Roads are not designed to withstand this, leading to early-life surface rutting and deformation that has to be repaired more […]

Gilsonite: A Breakthrough Material for Lithium Batteries Researchers at Rice University, led by chemist James Tour, developed an anode made from porous carbon derived from Gilsonite. This unique material demonstrated outstanding stability over 500 charge-discharge cycles. With a current density of 20 mA/cm², the Gilsonite-based anode shows promise for high-power, rapid-charge battery applications—charging fully in […]

Modified asphalt refers to an enhanced asphalt binder created by blending traditional asphalt with modifiers such as rubber, resin, high-molecular polymers, natural asphalt, ground rubber powder, or other external materials. These additives aim to improve the physical and mechanical performance of asphalt mixtures, particularly for use in road construction and infrastructure projects. What Is an […]
