▎ 摘  要

Microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) added to conventional ones can store excessive heat energy and reduce thermal stresses. In this study, melamine-formaldehyde resin phase change microencapsulated PCMs, with different contents of graphene (CG), were added to asphalt mixtures, in order to reduce their low-temperature cracking, induced by thermal stresses. Low-temperature and heat-conducting/storing performance of the obtained mixtures was examined via beam bending tests, semi-circular bending low-temperature performance tests, thermal conductivity tests and volume-specific heat capacity tests. Besides, the prepared asphalt mixtures' water stability and high-temperature stability values were obtained via freeze-thaw splitting and wheel tracking tests. The low-temperature performance of PCM-modified asphalt mixtures was evaluated via their bending strain energy densities, with one of the PCM-modified asphalt mixtures, namely CGMFPCM3, synthesized by the authors, was 1.7 times higher than that of the common asphalt mixture. Although the dynamic stability of all three PCM-modified mixtures was deteriorated by 68, 50, and 20% compared to the common one, that of CGMFPCM3 still complied with the standard requirement. Thermal conductivity and volume-specific heat capacity of the asphalt mixture at 278.15 K was enhanced by 5 and 43%, respectively, after adding CGMFPCM3. It is recommended for reducing the temperature variation-induced cracking in the asphalt pavement. Thermal conductivity and volume-specific heat capacity can be used for evaluating the temperature-regulating performance of asphalt mixtures.
