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.

Composite modified asphalts with nanoscale calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and SBS were prepared by melt blending. Rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) was carried out to study the aging property. The results demonstrate that both nano CaCO3 and SBS show homogeneous dispersion in the base asphalt, which lead to an improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. Influence of nano CaCO3 on the properties of SBS modified asphalts appears as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-deformation ability under low temperature of nano CaCO3/SBS modified asphalts improved significantly. The softening point of nano CaCO3/SBS modified asphalt decreases after aging, in contrast to that of the base asphalt, which can be ascribed to the different rheological peoperties between nano CaCO3/SBS modified asphalt and the base asphalt. Compared with that of SBS modified asphalt, the anti-ageing property of nano CaCO3/SBS modified asphalts improved significantly. This indicates that nano structure of CaCO3 in modified asphalt can prevent oxygen from diffusing and permeating in matrix and the thermo-oxidative ageing of base asphalt and SBS slows down.

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.

In order to explore the feasibility of waste edible animal oil used as the asphalt rejuvenator, this study investigated the effect of waste edible animal oil on softening point, penetration, ductility and viscosity of aged asphalt binders. The aged asphalt binders were obtained from the indoor simulating aging processes by using Thin Film Oven Test (TFOT) and Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV). The results show that the dosage of waste animal oil has different effect on physical properties of aged asphalt. Both 70# asphalt and SBS modified asphalt have the optimal content of waste edible animal oil to achieve the best physical properties. The optimal contents of waste edible animal oil for 70# asphalt and SBS modified asphalt are 6% and 4%, respectively.

Composite modified asphalts with micron fly ash/SBS and nanocalcium carbonate (nanoCaCO3)/ SBS were prepared respectively by melt blending. The ageing properties and physical properties of micron fly ash/SBS and CaCO3/SBS modified bitumen were investigated. The results demonstrate that micron fly ash/SBS modified bitumen exhibited an increasing softening point, a decreasing penetration and a decreasing ductility. Compared with that of SBS modified bitumen, the anti-aging property of the micron fly ash/SBS modified bitumen becomes worse. Effects of the nanoCaCO3 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 CaCO3/SBS modified asphalt was better than that of the SBS modified asphalt.

Aging properties of tourmaline modified asphalt prepared by melt blending were studied. The change laws of aging properties of asphalt caused by different types and contents of tourmaline were studied systematically by rotated thin film oven tests (RTFOT), in which the indices of aged residues such as softening point, penetration and ductility were tested. The results showed that the anti-aging performance of asphalt was improved effectually with addition of tourmaline, the ratio of residual penetration and ductility increased, and the softening point increment of aged asphalt decreased. The improvement of anti-aging performance of asphalt reduced with the increasing mixing amount of tourmaline. Tourmaline anion powder (5000ions) was recommended to improve the anti-aging performance of asphalt.

Sasobit has been applied into asphalt successfully since 1997. From then on, a lot of studies emphasizes on how Sasobit can lower asphalt’s viscosity and reduce poison odor emission. However, the durability of asphalt containing Sasobit is ignored to research. This paper aimed to analyze Sasobit impact on the durability of asphalt. In this study, the Sasobit modified asphalt was blended using different Sasobit contents of 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% by weight of asphalt into the base asphalt (SBS modified asphalt). The Rolling Thin Film Oven test (RTFO) and Pressure Aging Vessel test (PAV) were conducted to simulate the mixing and construction aging and in-service aging of asphalt. The properties and micro-structure of the base asphalt and Sasobit modified asphalt in three different aging states (original state, mixing and construction aging state and in-service aging state) were tested by using the Penetration-Grade system, Performance-Grade system and fluorescence microscope. The aging indexes of the base asphalt and Sasobit modified asphalt were calculated to compare their durability. It was evident that the durability of the Sasobit modified asphalt was mostly affected by the type of base asphalt and Sasobit had a little impaction on the durability of the asphalt.
