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.

Mechanistic-empirical evaluation of specific polymer-modified asphalt binders effect on the rheological performance.

TL;DR: It is recommended that precise asphalt binder inputs, that is, shear complex modulus (G*) and phase angle (δ) are used when designing pavement structures in regions with hot and mild climate conditions.

Comportamento fluência-recuperação de ligantes asfálticos modificados com copolímero SBR e ácido polifosfórico

TL;DR: In this paper, the creep-recovery behavior of asphalt binders/cements modified with SBR copolymer (AC+SBR), polyphos-phoric acid (AC+,PPA), and a combination of both (AC +SBR+PPA) at temperatures from 52 to 76 °C was analyzed by means of the multiple stress creep and recovery test.

Effect of plastic waste content on Physico-Mechanical properties of flexible pavements

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the use of plastic waste instead of cement on the physical and mechanical properties of pavements were investigated and the results indicated that the use with plastic waste enhance abrasion resistance and slip resistance of 20% and give pavements with low porosity (less than 5%).

Study on Rheological Properties of Bituminous Binders and Mixtures Containing Waste Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and SBR Compound Modified Bitumen.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of PCBs and butadiene styrene rubber (SBR) on the rheological properties of bitumen was investigated, and the results showed that PCBs can significantly improve the rutting resistance and water stability of SBR-modified bitumen at high temperatures at the recommended optimum content.

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.
