Microwave properties of bitumen modified with waste cooking oil (WCO)

Bitumen is a rheological, viscoelastic, thermoplastic and extremely complex material that has hydrocarbons as its predominant molecules with slight traces of others. Bitumen is semi solid at room temperature, liquid at high temperature and solid at very low temperature. Due to its complexity, till d...
