The research on acetate fibers as reinforcing agents is scant. Acetate fibers exhibit more environmental benefits than lignocellulose and other fibers. In this study, acetate fibers were pretreated with anhydrous ethanol as the extractant to disperse the fibers uniformly in the bitumen and the high\/medium-temperature fatigue properties of waste acetate fibers blended with binders were investigated. Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) tests showed that pretreatment was effective in removing plasticizers from CBs so that the fibers could be more uniformly dispersed in the binders. The roadworthiness and fatigue performance of the adhesives were tested based on frequency sweep (FS), multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR), and linear amplitude sweep (LAS) tests with different CB (cigarette butt) doping levels. Ultimately, CBs were added to effectively improve all aspects of bitumen performance, but this phenomenon was not enhanced with an increase in the amount of admixture\u2014optimal covariance was 0.25%. Moreover, a further correlation analysis was performed for the three traditional predicted fatigue failure points. The best correlation was R2 = 0.98 for a 50% decrease in dynamic shear modulus, followed by R2 = 0.96 for peak stress\u2013strain, and R2 = 0.88 for fatigue factor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules30081784","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,16]],"date-time":"2025-04-16T06:12:06Z","timestamp":1744783926000},"page":"1784","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Rheological and Fatigue Properties of Waste Acetate Fiber-Modified Bitumen"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Cheng","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Wood Adhesives and Glued Products, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"},{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Wood Adhesives and Glued Products, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"},{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianwei","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Wood Adhesives and Glued Products, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"},{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guizhou Highway Development Group Co., Ltd., Guiyang 563099, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7571-7319","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"87","article-title":"Asphalt pavement rutting disease and the mechanism of action of anti-rutting agent","volume":"479","author":"Liu","year":"2018","journal-title":"Transp.
