Cracks form in asphalt when bitumen \u2013 the sticky black material in the asphalt mixture \u2013 hardens through oxidisation, but the exact processes behind this are not entirely known.<\/p>\n<p>A team of scientists from Swansea University and King\u2019s College London, in collaboration with scientists in Chile, are designing a new \u201cselt-healing\u201d asphalt using artificial intelligence (AI). The scientists say they have found a way to reverse cracking and develop methods to \u201cstitch\u201d asphalt back together. Expert in computational chemistry at King\u2019s College London Dr Francisco Martin-Martinez said the research seeks to mimic healing properties observed in nature.<\/p>\n<p>The team incorporated spores, which are smaller than a strand of hair, into the asphalt filled with recycled oils. The spores are released when the asphalt begins to crack, which helps to reverse the process before potholes are formed, Swansea University says. In laboratory experiments, the advanced asphalt material was shown to \u201ccompletely heal\u201d a microcrack on its surface in less than an hour. During the research, a type of AI known as machine learning was used to study organic molecules in complex fluids like bitumen.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/self-healing-roads-use-recycled-cooking-oil-to-fix-potholes\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-664\/\">\u201cSelf-healing\u201d roads use recycled cooking oil to fix potholes<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11407,575,17843,9893],"class_list":["post-137258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asphalt","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pothole","tag-roads"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137258\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
