Abstract

Molecular dynamics provides a powerful tool to understand the elusive structure–performance relationship of asphalts. The combined molecular models were selected to investigate the interactions of the saturate, aromatic, resin, and asphaltene (SARA) four fractions and the correlation between fractio...
