Abstract

During the construction and maintenance of asphalt pavement, a lot of non-renewable resources are consumed, which discharge a variety of waste gasses and smoke, causing a serious impact on the environment. Reducing society’s reliance on non-renewable resources is therefore key to improving sustainability. It is found that phase change materials (PCMs), as environmentally friendly materials, can spontaneously store and release heat energy by changing the phase state, thus reducing the adverse effect of temperature on asphalt pavement, reducing the occurrence of high-temperature stress, minimizing the cost of road construction and maintenance, and saving resources. In order to promote the application of PCMs in asphalt pavement, to promote self-controlling temperature technology for asphalt pavement, and to improve the sustainable development of asphalt pavement, this paper reviews the research status of PCMs in asphalt pavement, both domestically and abroad. The results show that the thermal conductivity of the modified asphalt binder can reach 0.29–0.39 W/mK, and the thermal diffusivity can reach 0.2–0.3 mm 2 /s, but the influence on the viscosity of the asphalt is limited, and both are less than 2000CP. The durability and thermal stability of the modified asphalt mixture are improved, and the maximum temperature can be lowered by 9 °C, which effectively reduces the occurrence of hightemperature stress. This review will help to better understand the function of PCMs and promote the sustainable development of green and environmentally friendly asphalt pavement.
