Hydrophilic–Hydrophobic Properties of the Surface of Modified Carbonate Fillers for Asphalt by Mikhail Lebedev, Valentina Yadykina, Andrey Akimov, Marina Kozhukhova, Ekaterina Kuznetsova

“…Studies of the powders’ thermal effects wetting of different polarity liquids via microcalorimetry allows us to establish that with an increase in the filler hydrophobicity degree, the integral heat of immersion decreases due to a significant decrease in the probability of chemical interactions between water and powder due to the adsorption of applied surfactants molecules on the limestone active centers. The revealed endothermic effects indicate the occurrence of physical interactions due to non-polar dispersion forces. …”
