To study the effect of aging SBS modified asphalt on the performance of asphalt pavement, aging at various times and temperatures was conducted with thin film oven, and then tests were made about the penetration, softening point, ductility, viscosity, toughness, and fluorescence microscopy of modified asphalt with different aging levels. The results show that, with the increasing of aging time, the penetration and ductility of modified asphalt decrease while its softening point and viscosity increase, and the variation trend of the toughness and tenacity is related to the aging temperature; the aging dynamic model with viscosity as parameter can well characterize the aging process of modified asphalt; at microlevel, with the decreasing of SBS particle size, the uniformity of particle size is better. Analysis of macroscopic properties, microscopic characteristics, and significance shows that the SBS particle area ratio has a significant correlation with tenacity as the aging temperature changes. When the aging temperature is 163°C, the SBS particle area ratio still has a significant correlation with tenacity as the aging time changes.

To explore the relationships between the performances and microstructures of modified asphalt, in the tests, one kind of basic asphalt、two kinds of modifiers and four kinds of modifiers content were selected to prepare modified asphalt. The SBS modified asphalt performances such as softening point, viscosity, Rutting Factor G*/sinδ and the corresponding microstructures with different shearing time were analyzed. The results show that different modifiers have different modification effects on the asphalt,but the change trends of performances and microstructures with the modifier content and shearing time are basically the same. It is also found that there is a good relationship between microstructure and macro performance, the average area of the modifier is closely related to the softening point, total area (or area percentage) and the shape factor of the modifier are suitable to reflect the mechanical behavior of modified asphalts.

Microscale flyash/SBS composite modified asphalts (CMA) were prepared by melt blending. Rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) was employed to study the anti-aging property. Both flyash and SBS disperse homogeneously in the base asphalt, which lead to an improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. Moreover, microscale flyash plays a significant role in the CMA. The effect of flyash on the properties of SBS modified asphalt appears as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-deformation ability under high temperature of the CMA improved significantly. In comparison with that of the base asphalt, the softening point of the CMA decreases after aging, which maybe attribute to the different rheological properties between the CMA and the base asphalt. Compared to that of SBS modified asphalt, the anti-aging property of CMA improved significantly. This demonstrates that the microstructure of flyash can prevent oxygen from diffusing and permeating.

In this paper, two base asphalt types representing two oil sources and two modifiers (linear and star-shaped) are processed. This paper discusses the relation between dosage of SBS and the characteristics of SBS modified asphalt. Modified effects related to the structure and molecular weight of SBS. The modification effect of star-shaped modifier is better but the processing performance of linear modifier is better. The index of evaluating the production quality of SBS modified asphalt is proposed and the basis of controlling the construction quality of SBS modified asphalt is provided. Through the analyses of modified asphalt with different variety and different SBS dosage in conventional experiments such as penetration, ductility, softening point and the relation between the dosage of SBS and various technical performances of SBS modified asphalt is obtained. After the modified, penetration is decreased and softening point and ductility is increased, which prolonged the service life of pavement.

Nano-montmorillonite (Nano-MMT)/SBS composite modified asphalts were prepared by melt blending, the aging property of which was detected by rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) method. The microstructure of Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalts was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results demonstrated that nano-composite structures formed by the intercalation effect of SBS and asphalt into the MMT lamellae, which led to improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. In comparison with SBS modified asphalt, Nano-MMT impact on the properties of the modified asphalt appeared as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-deformation ability under high temperature of Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt improved significantly. The softening point of the Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt decreased after aging, in contrast with that of the base asphalt, which could be attributed to the different rheological properties between the Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt and the base asphalt. Compared with that of SBS modified asphalt, the anti-aging property of Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt improved dramatically. This indicated that the lamellar structure of montomorillonite in modified asphalt could prevent oxygen from diffusing and permeating in matrix and the thermo-oxidative aging of base asphalt and SBS weakens.

AbstractThe microstructure control of modified asphalt, especially the micro-dispersion of the SBS modifier in the mortar transition zone, is a critical technology for the performance design of modified asphalt. To characterize the micro-dispersive morphology of SBS modifiers, thin-section preparation techniques that can be used to analyze the original microstructure of the asphalt mixture were proposed and introduced in this study. Flexible resin is filled into the mixture at vacuum conditions to ensure accepted sample conditions for preparing thin sections of asphalt mixture. The morphology parameters, including SBS area ratio, box dimension, SBS average particle area and its coefficient of variation, area-weighted average axis ratio, and coefficient of variation, were plotted from fluorescence images to characterize the micro-morphological distribution of the SBS modifier in detail. Results have shown that the area ratio increased with the increase in SBS content, while the box dimension was reduced and the distribution uniformity of the particles decreased. The superfluous SBS modifier in the binder at a too high adding ratio will decrease the value of the box dimension. Lower modification temperature worsened the SBS modifier in the mixture, resulting in a wide range of particle size, higher axis ratio, and higher area ratio. The micro-morphologies of SBS in the asphalt mixture phase varied a lot from the asphalt binder phase. The additional materials of mineral filler and fine aggregate, together with the other heating processes, will significantly influence the swelling state and particle size of the SBS modifier.

Warm mix agent is the key factor to restrict the performance of warm mix asphalt. In this paper, methods of X-ray diffraction, thermal stability test, and laser particle size analysis were used to test and analyze the internal structure, composition, and properties of three kinds of warm mix agents. In order to study the performance impact of the warm mix agent on SBS-modified asphalt, the warm mix agents of Advera®, LTA synthetic zeolite, and 13X synthetic zeolite were added to SBS-modified asphalt in different contents. The three kinds of warm mix asphalt were tested by the experiments of softening point, penetration, and ductility to analyze their physical properties. The testing results showed that the softening point of three kinds of warm mix SBS-modified asphalt is greater than the softening point of SBS-modified asphalt without adding warm agents, which indicate the warm mix additives can improve the high-temperature stability of SBS-modified asphalt. The three kinds of the warm mix agent make SBS-modified asphalt hard, and the consistency and the ability of resisting deformation increase. The low temperature performance of SBS-modified asphalt decreased in different degrees with mixing different zeolite warm mix agents.
