Biomass-derived bio-oils are emerging as sustainable, low-carbon alternatives for construction materials, particularly in innovative pavement applications, 'BioPave'. Here, this study evaluates bio-oils from various sources, including algae and wastewater biomass, revealing variations in carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur contents, along with viscosity. We focused on their application in outdoor construction, assessing their resistance to thermal and solar radiation, and moisture. The study also examines their interaction with siliceous surfaces and their influence on asphalt adhesion in BioPave systems under moisture conditions. Laboratory experiments and computational modeling demonstrated molecular composition significantly influenced bio-oils' responses to thermal and UV exposure. Bio-oils rich in polar groups showed hardening upon thermal treatment, while those with higher concentrations of saturated aliphatics remained more stable. Furthermore, our findings highlight the significance of dosage control in maximizing beneficial effects of bio-oils in intermolecular interactions at bitumen-aggregate interface in BioPave applications. These findings offer insights into the potential of bio-oils in sustainable construction and the need for dosage control to optimize pavement performance.
