The zero-shear viscosity and dielectric relaxation are studied numerically for several model solutions of polydisperse rods. The phase equilibrium calculation is based on the Warner-Flory lattice theory [1]. In the biphasic range of the solutions two different models of phase mixing are considered.

Abstract Based upon the Doi-Edwards theory, a simple expression has been obtained for zero-shear viscosity in terms of the plateau modulus and the crossover frequency. There are no adjustable parameters in the expression. The model is in very good agreement with the zero-shear viscosity values for linear polybutadienes, the typical discrepancy being ∼5–10%. If the model can be validated for other linear amorphous polymers, it may become possible to estimate the zero-shear viscosity by measuring a single Theological parameter (the crossover frequency).

This study has investigated the impact of graphene oxide (GO) in enhancing the performance properties of an asphalt binder. The control asphalt binder (60/70 PEN) was blended with GO in contents of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%. The permanent deformation behavior of the modified asphalt binders was evaluated based on the zero shear viscosity (ZSV) parameter through a steady shear test approach. Superpave fatigue test and the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) method were used to evaluate the fatigue behavior of the binders. A bending beam rheometer (BBR) test was conducted to evaluate the low-temperature cracking behavior. Furthermore, the storage stability of the binders was investigated using a separation test. The results of the ZSV test showed that GO considerably enhanced the steady shear viscosity and ZSV value, showing a significant contribution of the GO to the deformation resistance; moreover, GO modification changed the asphalt binder’s behavior from Newtonian to shear-thinning flow. A notable improvement in fatigue life was observed with the addition of GO to the binder based on the LAS test results and Superpave fatigue parameter. The BBR test results revealed that compared to the control asphalt, the GO-modified binders showed lower creep stiffness (S) and higher creep rate (m-value), indicating increased cracking resistance at low temperatures. Finally, the GO-modified asphalt binders exhibited good storage stability under high temperatures.
