Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Developing a reliable method for separating styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) modifier and bitumen matrix is not only beneficial to further revealing the aging mechanism of SBS modified bitumen (SBSMB) but also can be used to determine the SBS content in SBSMB. Consequently, two separation methods were compared based on solubility differences of SBS, asphaltene and maltene in specific chemical agents, and evaluated by rheological, chemical and morphological analyses. In addition, the application of proposed separation method to SBSMB aging research and SBS content determination was also conducted. The results show that the separation method that first separates asphaltene from SBSMB, and then separates SBS and maltene in residues can successfully separate SBS and bitumen matrix. No new bulk phase is apparent in bitumen after separation processes, and the separation processes of proposed method have few influences on complex modulus of binder while having significant impacts on phase angle of binder. By comparing pure bitumen and separated bitumen matrix from SBSMB, it can be found that the aging susceptibility of bitumen matrix in SBSMB is lower than that of pure bitumen. Moreover, the content of SBS in SBSMB can also be accurately determined by the proposed separation method, which can contribute to quality control of SBSMB products.
