Abstract:
Styrene-butadiene styrene graphene oxide nanoplatelets (SBS-g-GOs)-modified asphalt was prepared by reacting thiolated GOs (GOs-SH) with SBS in asphalt using a thiol-ene click reaction. The temperature resistance and mechanical properties of asphalts were analyzed by dynamic shear rheology (DSR) and multiple-stress creep-recovery (MSCR) tests, which revealed that an optimum amount of GOs-SH (0.02%) can effectively improve the low temperature and anti-rutting performance of SBS asphalt. Segregation experiments showed that SBS-g-GOs possessed good stability and dispersion in base asphalt. Fluorescence microscopy results revealed that the addition of GOs-SH promoted the formation of SBS network structure. Textural and morphological characterization of GOs-SH and SBS were achieved by Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic-force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while surface chemical composition was tested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Based on textural characterization data, a suitable reaction mechanism was proposed that involved the preferential reaction between GOs-SH and 1,2 C=C of SBS. The currently designed GOs-SH incorporated asphalt via thiol-ene click reaction provides new ideas for the preparation of modified asphalt with enhanced mechanical properties for target-oriented applications.

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.
Primary alcohols are synthesized from primary alkyl halides, and the...
