First I want to choose some rejuvenators, then by analyzing FTIR results, choose the best one. what is the best considering index from results of FTIR test for better performance of rejuvenators(or oil) in capsules ?
Carbonyls and sulfoxide functional groups in the FTIR spectrum of asphalt clearly determine the aging of asphalt. Determine the chemical aging index (CAI) for asphalt modified with each rejuvenator. Lower the CAI better the aging resistance.
Use the following as an example it could help you understand

The relationship between the self-healing index from mechanical properties with the FTIR chemical results can be established. And the FTIR test can be used to predict the self-healing properties of bitumen considering the diffusion process of rejuvenator.
Apart from Carbonyl and sulphoxide groups, one can have a look into aromatic and aliphatic indices. With proper rejuvenation of asphalt, these indices will increase.
Amount of carbonyl and sulfoxide compounds are widely used as an indicator of ageing in asphalt ageing. You can further calculate Ageing Index to quantify the effect of ageing and rejuvenation on asphalt binders.
