Currently, there are a numberof challenges in dealing with distressed pavement and seeking new materials with sustainabilityin mind in pavement systems. Therefore, it is important for us to conduct further research in thefollowing areas: (1) pavement structure, materials, and design; (2) pavement models as better solutionsfor pavement constructions; (3) pavement mechanics for improved understanding and mechanismanalyses; (4) utilization of recycled materials for environmentally friendly solutions; (5) maintenanceand rehabilitation for an extended life span of pavement; (6) intelligent construction for projectmanagement, energy conservation, and future constructions; and (7) innovative approaches to test andevaluate the performance of pavement materials. The purpose of this Special Issue “Achievementsand Prospects of Advanced Pavement Materials Technologies” is to explore new research ideas forpavement materials as described above.The Special Issue “Achievements and Prospects of Advanced Pavement Materials Technologies”is part of the journal Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417). This Special Issue belongs to the section“Materials.” This Special Issue contains 25 technical articles [1–25]. All of the 25 papers have been peerreviewed under the journal’s rigorous review criteria. The collection includes invited papers fromexperts in international communities and articles that have been selected from the 2019 World TransportConvention (WTC) held in June 2019 in Beijing, the 4th International Conference on TransportationInfrastructure and Materials in Jinan, Shandong, China in 2019, and the 5th Chinese-EuropeanWorkshop on Functional Pavements in 2019 in Changsha, China.Modified asphalt binders and mixtures are the most important construction materials for pavement,and therefore they always attract research interest all over the world. Nearly half of the papers collectedin this Special Issue are related to these topics. M. Hasan, Z. You, M. Satar, M. Warid, N. Kamaruddin,D. Ge, and R. Zhang evaluated the effects of Titanate coupling agent on the engineering propertiesof asphalt binders and mixtures incorporating LLDPE-CaCO3 pellets [8]. Another paper presentsan investigation on a damage model of an eco-friendly basalt fiber-modified asphalt mixture underfreeze–thaw cycles [18], authored by W. Wang, Y. Cheng, G. Ma, G. Tan, X. Sun, and S. Yang.Additionally, C. Zhang, H. Wang, Z. You, J. Gao, and M. Irfan investigated the performance ofstyrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt based on the different evaluation methods [22].The micromechanism of the dispersion behavior of polymer-modified rejuvenators in aged asphaltmaterials is presented by M. Zhao, F. Shen, and Q. Ding. Studies on manufacturing modifiers are alsoincluded, such as preparation of polyacrylate hollow microspheres [4] and design of SBS-modifiedbitumen stabilizer powder based on the vulcanization mechanism [23].Appl. Sci. 2020, 10, 7743; doi:10.3390/app10217743 www.mdpi.com/journal/applsciAppl. Sci. 2020, 10, 7743 2 of 4Nanotechnology has been adopted by researchers to reinforce properties of asphalt binders andmixtures. J. Rafi, M. Kamal, N. Ahmad, M. Hafeez, M. Faizan ul Haq, S. Aamara Asif, F. Shabbir,and S. Bilal Ahmed Zaidi used carbon black nanoparticles to reinforce an asphalt mixture [15]. In anotherstudy, C. Li, Z. Fan, S. Wu, Y. Li, Y. Gan, and A. Zhang also evaluated the effects of carbon blacknanoparticles from the pyrolysis of discarded tires on the performance of asphalt and its mixtures [11].Yet another study presents the dispersion homogeneousness and performance enhancement of a carbonnanotubes (CNTs)-modified asphalt binder [7], authored by M. Haq, N. Ahmad, M. Nasir, Jamal;M. Hafeez, J. Rafi, S. Zaidi, and W. Haroon. In addition, the durability and the properties of an asphaltconcrete with nano hydrophobic silane silica were evaluated considering the spring-thawing effect [5],in an article authored by W. Guo, X. Guo, M. Sun, and W. Dai.Different types of waste oil have been utilized by investigators to improve virgin binder propertiesor rejuvenate aged binders. T. Shoukat and P. Yoo present a study on the rheology of an asphaltbinder modified with 5w30-viscosity grade waste engine oil [16]. Meanwhile, J. Gao, H. Wang, Z. You,M. Mohd Hasan, Y. Lei, and M. Irfan used wood-derived bio-oil to modify an asphalt binder andevaluate its rheological behavior and sensitivity [5]. On the other hand, researchers investigated thepossibility of using waste vegetable oil to rejuvenate aged asphalt binders [19]. Reclaimed asphaltpavement (RAP) is another hot research topic in recycling technology. In this Special Issue, two papershave been collected on this topic. The first one is an evaluation of the fatigue life of asphalt concretemixtures with RAP [1], authored by W. Bańkowski. The second paper presents a method for evaluatingthe particle clustering phenomenon in RAP [20], authored by G. Xu, T. Ma, Z. Fang, X. Huang,and W. Zhang.The mechanical properties of paving materials are always included within the scope of researchinterests. In this Special Issue, J.-C. Carret, H. Di Benedetto, and C. Sauzéat characterized asphalt mixes’behavior from dynamic tests and made a comparison with conventional cyclic tension–compressiontests [2]. S. Lv, X. Fan, C. Xia, J. Zheng, D. Chen, and L. You characterized the moduli decay ofan asphalt mixture under different loading conditions [14]; T. Huang, S. Qi, M. Yang, S. Lv, H. Liu,and J. Zheng presented a strength criterion of asphalt mixtures in three-dimensional stress states underfreeze–thaw conditions [9]; X. Li, X. Lv, X. Liu, and J. Ye analyzed an indirect tensile fatigue test of anasphalt mixture using the discrete element method [12]; J. Chen, C. Yao, H. Wang, W. Huang, X. Ma,and J. Qian investigated the interface shear performance between a porous polyurethane mixture andasphalt sublayer [3]. Additionally, the deformation and damping of cement treated and expandedwith polystyrene mixed lightweight subgrade fill were characterized under cyclic load [13], by W. Lu,L. Miao, J. Zhang, Y. Zhang, and J. Li.Portland cement concrete is another widely used material for pavement construction. Two studieson this topic are included in this Special Issue. A case study in China was conducted by L. Yu, X. Yang,X. Yan, X. Zhang, T. Zhao, C. Duan, and J. Mills-Beale, presenting the design and construction ofoblique prestressed concrete pavement [21]. M. Zheng, Y. Tian, X. Wang, and P. Peng investigated thedurability of the anti-skid performance of grooved concrete pavement [25].Pavement management and maintenance are essential for keeping transportation infrastructurein good service condition. Y. Tian, B. Ma, K. Tian, N. Li, and X. Zhou determined the componentsof light screening preventive maintenance agent (LS pre-maintenance agent) for strong ultraviolet(UV) radiation areas and evaluated its performance [17]. C. Kou, A. Kang, P. Xiao, P. Mikhailenko,H. Baaj, L. Sun, and Z. Wu presented a source pollution control measure based on the spatial-temporaldistribution characteristic of the runoff pollutants at urban pavement sites [10].Acknowledgments: This Special Issue would not be possible without the contributions of the above authors,hundreds of dedicated volunteer reviewers, and the editorial team of Applied Sciences.Conflicts of Interest: The authors declare no conflict of interest.Appl.
