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.
