ENGINE EMISSIONS ENCAPSULATION IN ASPHALT
The present disclosure includes various methods systems and apparatuses for carbon dioxide capture and utilization such as for encapsulation in asphalt. For example, a method can include combusting fuel to generate a flow of exhaust from a working machine operating to perform one or more asphalt related tasks, capturing CO2 from the exhaust, storing the CO2 in a storage unit onboard the working machine, forming asphalt that includes an amount of the CO2 from the storage unit by selectively mixing the amount of the CO2 from the storage unit with calcium, and using the asphalt that is formed that includes the amount of the CO2 from the storage unit encapsulated therein at a jobsite.

REACTIVE COLD-APPLIED THERMOPLASTIC BOND COAT
Disclosed herein is a reactive cold-applied thermoplastic bond coat system and method of application thereof. The system is a two- or three-component system defined by acrylate-based component(s) and an initiator suspension. Upon mixing of the components at the jobsite, the mixture is applied onto a substrate (e.g., waterproofing membrane), and a pavement material (e.g., asphalt) is applied onto the bond coat. Excellent asphalt compaction was observed, resulting in high surface contact area, along with very low water penetration to the bond coat interface. The high surface contact area and penetration of the asphalt into the bond coat provides a good bond between the asphalt and substrate.

Methods and apparatus for repairing road surfaces
Methods and apparatus for repairing road surfaces mix aggregate and liquified crack sealer on demand into mastic material for direct delivery to the road surfaces. Aggregate flows from a tilted box of a dump truck into a hopper and is conveyed by an auger into a tubular horizontal chamber. Liquified crack sealer is deliverable from a tank to the road surface or into the tubular horizontal chamber where it is mixed with the aggregate by a device into mastic material which is pushed through a vertical opening for delivery directly to the road surfaces. The frame which supports the hopper, conveyor, tank, and tubular horizontal chamber is movably supported on the road surfaces and is hitched to the dump truck.
