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.

Investigation of the performance of asphalt binder modified by sargassum

TL;DR: In this paper, seaweed sargassum (SGZ) was used as a modifier of asphalt binders, as a response to the urgent need of finding a way to handle and take advantage of the massive amounts of this biomass, which has been found in recent years on the beach coasts of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean forming what the authors call the Great Atlantic SargassUM Belt.

Performance Evaluation of Bone Glue-Modified Asphalt

TL;DR: In this paper, a bio material derived from the animal waste, named as bone glue (BG), has been used with the 60/70 penetration grade binder in dosages of 3, 6, 9, and 12% by weight of asphalt binder.

Investigating binder aging during hot in-place recycling (HIR) of asphalt pavement

TL;DR: In this paper, the aging behavior of SBS modified asphalt in HIR and provide appropriate guidance for future HIR projects is analyzed. But the results of the experiments showed that the influence of long-term aging is quite significant and untreated pavement exhibits much lower elastic recovery due to the degradation of the SBS polymer.

Aging Characteristics of Rubber Modified Asphalts in Different Environmental Factors Combinations

TL;DR: In this article, two kinds of rubber modified asphalts were investigated and compared with virgin asphalt, and different combinations of four environmental factors were merged into the laboratory aging simulation, and the performance difference of asphalt before and after aging was selected as an evaluation index for asphalt aging degree.

Impact of warm mix additives on rheological properties of polymer modified asphalt binders

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Bohlin dynamic shear rheometer II to investigate the relationship between loading and response as a function of time, temperature, and frequency.

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.
