摘要

This review examines hybrid and multifunctional asphalt modifiers for enhancing pavement performance and sustainability. By integrating polymers, nanomaterials, and waste-derived fillers, these systems generate multiphase networks that improve rutting resistance, fatigue tolerance, and low-temperature flexibility, while multifunctional additives enable self-healing and self-sensing capabilities. Recycled and bio-based materials can reduce environmental impacts when they substitute virgin inputs and extend service life, but laboratory gains remain constrained by interfacial compatibility, dispersion quality, aging sensitivity, and scale-up uncertainty. Advanced characterization, molecular modelling, numerical simulation, machine learning, and digital-twin concepts provide tools for formulation optimization, condition prediction, preventive maintenance, and field-performance updating. The review further introduces a methodologically conservative analytical layer, including a worked homogeneous pooled subset, a conservative Synergy Index example, decision-support equations, LCA/LCCA metrics, a Circularity-Adjusted Synergy Index, a critical digital-twin evidence synthesis, and recommendations for standards bodies. Overall, hybrid and multifunctional asphalt modifiers provide a strategic route toward durable, low-carbon pavements, provided that claims are supported by reproducible data, field validation, and transparent circularity assessment.
