Some of the important benefits of cold asphalt include conservation of natural resources, cost and energy reduction. Meanwhile, warm asphalt mixtures have higher durability and resistance than cold mixtures, but the use of hot asphalt mixtures causes environmental pollution, the release of toxic and harmful gases, and also reduces the safety of workers. Therefore, today, the use of cold asphalt mixtures is increasing in order to protect the environment and also work risks, which is used with this type of asphalt along with emulsion bitumen. However, the use of cold asphalt produced in factories with emulsion bitumen leads to problems such as rutting, thermal cracks, reduction in strength, etc. Therefore, the need to use additives in order to improve the functional characteristics of this type of asphalt is felt. Considering the importance of the subject, in this research, a review of the studies conducted in the field of the effect of different additives on the functional characteristics of recycled cold asphalt produced with emulsion bitumen has been done. Finally, according to the results of the studies, it can be said that asphalt mixtures produced with emulsion bitumen have very low resistance to environmental factors and humidity, and therefore the use of additives is recommended. The results showed that the use of different additives improves the resistance of the asphalt mixture against moisture, which is more evident in the samples modified by combining polymer with cement and polymer with lime than other additives. shows. Also, due to creating a three-dimensional network in the bitumen and actually reinforcing the bitumen, polymer materials can increase the asphalt resistance and Marshall endurance.

Recently, with the advent of nanotechnology and the manufacture of nanoparticles, a huge change has taken place in the functional demands of materials. The role of the pavement surface layer, which is made of asphalt mixtures, in the performance of pavements is inevitable. The use of nanotechnology in the construction of transportation infrastructure is roughly equivalent to the human effort to send humans to the moon in the 1960s. In 2005, the idea of building asphalt for highways that could repair themselves seemed far-fetched to many. Therefore, the asphalt industry still needs a transformation so that people can see the possibilities of nanotechnology and understand its benefits. Due to the compositional nature of the asphalt mix, the potential for improvement in the mechanical properties of asphalt using nanotechnology is very important. Modification of nanomaterials began with engineering changes in the molecular structure of asphalt with the aim of influencing the properties of these materials. Nanoscale modifiers can react with bitumen to change the chemical and molecular structure of the bitumen, which can lead to better asphalt performance. In recent years, the use of nanoparticles in changing the behavioral and chemical properties of asphalt has been considered by researchers and researchers have conducted numerous experiments to study these properties in order to improve the properties of asphalt mixtures made with nanoparticles, but this science still needs To more extensive research in order to achieve more comprehensive and accurate results. This paper reviews the studies on the effect of different nanoparticles on the production of cold asphalt in factories produced with emulsion bitumen.
