Bitumen chemistry, including the proportion of asphaltenes, resins, aromatics, and saturates, affects viscosity, adhesion, elasticity, and temperature susceptibility. The chemical composition determines how the bitumen responds to temperature changes and loading, influencing performance characteristics like stiffness and aging resistance.
