Recently a wide spectrum of modifying polymeric materials have been test mixed with the bitumens used in road construction; among them, a new class of heterophasic polyolefin copolymers which show little stability when mixed with certain bitumens, especially when stored for long periods at high temperatures.

Abstract

Recently a wide spectrum of modifying polymeric materials have been test mixed with the bitumens used in road construction; among them, a new class of heterophasic polyolefin copolymers which show little stability when mixed with certain bitumens, especially when stored for long periods at high temperatures. The problem can be solved by adding phosphorous compounds, especially polyphosphoric acid, which shift the bitumen structure from sol to gel. In fact, it was demonstrated that the stability of polymer modified bitumens depends not only on the difference in density and viscosity between bitumen and polymer, but also on bitumen structure.
