In order to solve the problems caused by asphalt diseases and prolong the life cycle of asphalt pavement, many studies on the properties of modified asphalt have been conducted, especially polyurethane (PU) modified asphalt. This study is to replace part of the styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modifier with waste polyurethane (WP), for preparing WP/SBS composite modified asphalt, as well as exploring its properties and microstructure. On this basis, this paper studied the basic performance of WP/SBS composite modified asphalt with a conventional performance test, to analyze the high- and low-temperature rheological properties, permanent deformation resistance and storage stability of WP/SBS composite modified asphalt by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests. The microstructure of WP/SBS composite modified asphalt was also observed by fluorescence microscope (FM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as the reaction between WP and asphalt. According to the results of this study, WP can replace SBS as a modifier to prepare WP/SBS composite modified asphalt with good low-temperature resistance, whose high-temperature performance will be lower than that of SBS modified asphalt. After comprehensive consideration, 4% SBS content and 15% WPU content (4 S/15 W) are determined as the suitable types of WPU/SBS composite modified asphalt.

A styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) was grafted with an unsaturated polar monomer (monomer A) composed of maleic anhydride (MAH) and methoxy polyethylene (MPEG) via a ring-opening reaction after epoxidizing styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (ESBS). The microscopic changes of SBS before and after grafting has been characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The results revealed that the monomer A was successfully grafted on SBS backbone, and the maximum graft ratio (GR) was 20.32%. To verify the compatibility between SBS and asphalt, solubility parameters and surface free energy (SFE) of SBS, grafted SBS and asphalt were measured. It was found that the solubility parameter and SFE of grafted SBS were closer to asphalt compared with SBS. It also has been confirmed from storage stability that the temperature susceptibility of grafted SBS modified asphalt was reduced in compare with SBS modified asphalt binder. As consequence, the use of grafted copolymer can be considered a suitable alternative for modification of asphalt binder in pavement.

In this study, a new type of composite modified bitumen was developed by blending styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and crumb rubber (CR) with a chemical method to satisfy the durability requirements of waterproofing material in the waterproofing layer of high-speed railway subgrade. A pressure-aging-vessel test for 20, 40 and 80 h were conducted to obtain bitumen samples in different long-term aging conditions. Multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) tests, linear amplitude scanning tests and bending beam rheometer tests were conducted on three kinds of asphalt binders (SBS modified asphalt, CR modified asphalt and SBS/CR composite modified asphalt) after different long-term aging processes, including high temperature permanent deformation performance, resistance to low temperature thermal and fatigue crack. Meanwhile, aging sensitivities were compared by different rheological indices. Results showed that SBS/CR composite modified asphalt possessed the best properties before and after aging. The elastic property of CR in SBS/CR composite modified asphalt improved the ability to resist low temperature thermal and fatigue cracks at a range of low and middle temperatures. Simultaneously, the copolymer network of SBS and CR significantly improved the elastic response of the asphalt SBS/CR modified asphalt at a range of high temperatures. Furthermore, all test results indicated that the SBS/CR modified asphalt possesses the outstanding ability to anti-aging. SBS/CR is an ideal kind of asphalt to satisfy the demand of 60 years of service life in the subgrade of high speed railway.

Currently, rejuvenator seal which is one of the preventive maintenance methods is more widely used due to its economic benefits and convenience. This paper described the chemical and rheological evaluation of the aged styrene butadiene styrene modified asphalt (ASMA) treated by two rejuvenator sealer materials (RSMs). First the ASMA was rejuvenated by mixing with the RSMs. Then the ASMA and two rejuvenated binders were re-aged by 10h PAV test. At last, the new binder, ASMA, rejuvenated ASMAs, re-aged binders were tested by Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the first aging of the new binder had a significant decrease of the low temperature performance and slight improvement of the high temperature performance. In addition, the high temperature performance increased obviously after 10h PAV test. Two RSMs could significantly soften the aged binder due to increase of maltene content existing in the RSMs, and the rejuvenated binder exhibited a better low performance after the 10h PAV test. However they cannot restore the low temperature completely because that RSMs cannot remedy the degradation of SBS modifier and remove the carbonyl produced in the aging progress.

The paper presents the results of laboratory investigation on asphalt binders relaxation at low temperature, carried out in a ductilometer using the tensile test with continuous force measurement. Polymer modified asphalt binder samples consisting of a 50/70 penetration grade bitumen mixed with a concentrate of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen—a 160/220 penetration grade bitumen modified with a SBS copolymer in the amount of 9%—were tested. Therefore, polymer modified binders containing 3%, 4.5%, 6% and 7.5% SBS, respectively, were obtained and investigated. Tensile tests were performed at −16 °C on samples before aging and subjected to short-term aging (RTFOT). Test results in the form of relaxation curves have been mathematically described using a modified generalized Maxwell model. Based on the acquired results, it was shown that the increase of the SBS copolymer content in asphalt binder precipitates the relaxation process, while aging slows down this phenomenon. It has also been proven that with increased content of SBS elastomer in asphalt binder, the effect of short-term aging on binder’s stress relaxation ability at low temperatures is reduced.

Composite modified asphalts with nano calcium carbonate (nano CaCO3)/ SBS and nano montmorillonite (nano MMT)/SBS were prepared respectively by melt blending. Rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) was carried out to study the aging properties. The results demonstrate that CaCO3/SBS and MMT/SBS homogeneously disperse in the base asphalt, which lead to an improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. Effects of the nano CaCO3 and nano MMT on the properties of SBS modified asphalt appear as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-aging property of the nano MMT/SBS modified asphalt was better than that of the CaCO3/SBS modified asphalt and SBS modified asphalt.

Although the aging asphalt and its regeneration were researched by many researchers, the poor low-temperature performance of regenerating asphalt has still not been solved yet. In this project, the composite technology of regeneration and modification will be used to solve the problem mentioned above. Through the investigation and analysis on the composite mechanism of regeneration and modification for aging asphalt, the objective of the project attempts to explore a method for the synchronized recovery of high- and low-temperature performance of aging asphalt. The research results show that the single regenerating technology cannot fully recover the low-temperature performance of aging asphalt, and the composite technology of regeneration and modification can make the performance of aging asphalt recovery well. The indexes of aging asphalt after composite regeneration and modification have been recovered, which are better than the indexes of 90# asphalt (25°C penetration is 80–100/0.1 mm) and close with the indexes of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt. The project has demonstrated that the composite technology of regeneration and modification can make the high- and low-temperature performance of aging asphalt recovery well. The research results can obtain better economic and social benefits.

The high-performance asphalt materials are used to replace the ordinary road asphalt that cannot meet the requirements of natural environment and traffic situation, which is the effective way to solve poor asphalt pavement durability. In this paper, polyphosphoric acid- (PPA-) modified asphalt and polyphosphoric acid (PPA)/styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) composite-modified asphalt with different PPA content were prepared by using two-type asphalt. The effect of PPA modifier on asphalt was analyzed by using the creep elastic recovery rate, accumulating strain and creep modulus tests. The results showed that asphalt types and the PPA could significantly improve the elastic recovery rate of asphalt, reduce the cumulative strain and creep stiffness of the viscosity part, improve the high-temperature performance, and reduce the permanent deformation of the asphalt under repeated load. The high-temperature performance and low-temperature performance of PPA-modified asphalt were studied by the chemical and physical modification techniques. The advantages of modified asphalt are well developed while reducing the price of it, which has important technical and economic significance.

Styrene-butadiene-styrene- (SBS-) modified asphalts were prepared by mixing different base asphalts, SBS modifier, extracting oil, and stabilizing agents. The contact angles between SBS-modified asphalt and distilled water, glycerol, and formamide were detected by the sessile drop method. Based on the surface energy theory, the surface free energy and cohesive power of SBS-modified asphalt were calculated. The influence of the raw materials composition, such as the virgin asphalt and SBS modifier types as well as the extracting oil and stabilizing agent contents, on the cohesive characteristics of SBS-modified asphalt was discussed. The results showed that virgin asphalt was compatible with SBS modifiers to improve cohesiveness. The cohesive power of branched SBS-modified asphalt was larger than that of linear SBS-modified asphalt. The cohesion of SBS-modified asphalt was improved as the SBS modifier and stabilizer contents increased but was reduced for excessive extraction oil contents. The cohesive characteristics of the SBS-modified asphalt were improved by the formation of stable three-dimensional network structures by cross-linking, winding, and grafting among different raw materials.
