Polymer modified asphalt binders
TLDR
A review of research that has been conducted on polymer modified binders over the last three decades can be found in this paper, where the elastic recovery test is good at determining the presence of polymers in an asphalt binder but is less successful at predicting field performance of the pavement.About:

The Effect of Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber (SBR) Polymer Modifier on Properties of Bitumen
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) modifiers on the rheology properties of bitumen is studied and the results show that bitumen modified with 5 percent of SBR has the best performance than the other samples.

The Regeneration of Aged SBS Modified Asphalt via Re-reticulating SBS Particles Under Gamma Irradiation
Q. Zhu,C. Zhou,Shengyue Wang +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the damaged reticulation structure of aged SBS modified asphalt (SBS MA) was regenerated by a gamma irradiation technology and assessed its potential applications by polarizing microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance-related and rheological characterisation of natural rubber modified bitumen
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed laboratory program was carried out to evaluate the influence of NR on the high-intermediate-low temperature performance, including rheological characterisations and performance-related tests (fatigue cracking, thermal cracking, fracture and permanent deformation resistance).

Polymer modified asphalt
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the characteristics of polymerasphalt binders, mostly used in the paving industry, focusing on the relationships of composition and formulation with the properties of the binder, and the relationship of binder properties and performance of the mixture.

Asphalt modified by styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer: Morphology and model
TL;DR: In this paper, the styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS! triblock copolymer) was used to modify the asphalt binder and the morphology and engi- neering properties of the binders were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic shear rheometer.

Polymer-Modified Asphalt Cements Used in the Road Construction Industry: Basic Principles
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles of bitumen-polymer compatibility, the mechanism for modification, and the effect of the components on the properties of the modified binders are presented along with several specific problems related to the use of these products.
Classification of asphalt binders into simple and complex binders
TL;DR: The NCHRP 9-10 Project as mentioned in this paper evaluated the suitability of using the Superpave binder and mixture test system for modified asphalt binders, and the results indicated that modified binders will be used more in the future and that there are major concerns regarding the applicability of the superpave PG-grading system to modified asphalt binder.

Characteristics of polymers and polymer-modified binders
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of a number of polymers commonly proposed for polymer-modified bitumens (PMBs) were studied to suggest a way to select the polymer suitable for the required application; the prediction of the performance in the final application would allow bypass of the tests on PMBs and asphalt mixtures.
