摘要
The use of polymers for the modification of bitumen in road paving applications has been growing rapidly over the last decade as government authorities and paving contractors seek to improve road life in the face of increased traffic. Currently, the most commonly used polymer for bitumen modification is the elastomer styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) followed by other polymers such as styrene butadiene rubber, ethylene vinyl acetate and polyethylene. This paper describes the polymer modification of two penetration grade bitumens with SBS. Six polymer modified bitumens (PMBs) were produced by mixing the bitumens from two crude oil sources with a linear SBS copolymer at three polymer contents. The rheological characteristics of the SBS PMBs were analysed by means of conventional as well as dynamic mechanical analysis using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The results of the investigation indicate that the degree of SBS modification is a function of bitumen source, bitumen–polymer compatibility and polymer concentration, with the higher polymer concentrations in a high aromatic content bitumen producing a highly elastic network which increases the viscosity, complex modulus and elastic response of the PMB, particularly at high service temperatures. However, ageing of the SBS PMBs tends to result in a reduction of the molecular size of the SBS copolymer with a decrease in the elastic response of the modified road bitumen.
