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:

Towards storage-stable high-content recycled tyre rubber modified bitumen
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tried to unlock the full potential of devulcanised tyre rubber-heavy oils blend, named Liquid Rubber (LR), by exploring the possibility of tailoring recycled polymer modified bitumen with unconventional high-content of RTR and designed to overcome the above mentioned technological problems of Recycle Tyre Rubber (RTR) modified binders while keeping its advantages.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
