Nanoclay modifications enhance bitumen by improving mechanical properties like stiffness and strength. Due to their high surface area, nanoclays reinforce the bitumen matrix at the nanoscale, leading to better rutting resistance at high temperatures, improved thermal stability, and reduced aging by slowing oxidation processes.
