Self-Cleaning Asphalt Market to Witness Exponential Growth by 2024
Self-cleaning asphalt is used in surfacing roads that would clean itself and the air around the road. Self-cleaning asphalt is generally used in places that are prone to environmental pollution. Road surface can be infused with asphalt material containing highly effective nanoparticles that can lower the amount of the nitrous oxide level in the air. Nanomaterials such as titanium oxides and zinc oxides are deposited through an aqueous solution over asphalt mixture samples in order to promote the photocatalytic, super hydrophobic, and self-cleaning capabilities. Key characteristics of asphalt materials are of great importance due to their interaction with the vehicle’s tires. With enhanced surface characteristics, road safety and environment, through pollutants degradation such as nitrous oxides, sulphur dioxides, will be improved. Self-cleaning asphalts help avoid slipping problems, facilitate water drainability, and prevent the pore fouling phenomenon. The global self-clean...
