The structure of the lipophilic groups within the emulsifiers plays a pivotal role in uniformly dispersing the asphalt particles in the water regarding the storage and thermal stability of emulsified asphalt. This study combines laboratory experiments with molecular dynamics simulations, investigating the influence of alkyl chain length on emulsified asphalt dispersion and behavior at the oil/water interface. The results reveal that long-chain alkyl emulsifiers (C16TAC and C18TAC) present a lipophilicity-enhancement effect. This phenomenon increases the free volume fraction of emulsified asphalt, reducing viscosity and improving the compatibility of emulsion. This results in smaller asphalt particle sizes (D50 = 1.982μm) and more uniform dispersion. Vigorously lipophilic long-chain alkyl promotes emulsifier molecular migration towards the asphalt phase, thickening the oil/water interfacial layer and reducing interfacial tension and energy by more than 90 %. Notely, long-chain alkyl emulsifiers establish strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules, leading to water molecule aggregation into a hydration layer. Laboratory experimental results demonstrate that this lipophilicity-enhancement effect significantly improves the storage and thermal stability of emulsified asphalt. This research recommends long-chain alkyl emulsifiers in developing and designing energy-efficient pavement engineering regarding high-performance emulsified asphalt.
