“…In order to improve the quality of asphalt pavements, the asphalt industry incorporated polymers into asphalt as a way to mitigate the major causes for asphalt pavement failures, including permanent deformation at high temperatures and cracking at low temperatures [7,26]. When a polymer and virgin asphalt are blended, the polymer strands absorb part of the low molecular weight oil fraction of the virgin asphalt and become swollen.…”

“…Polymer modifications are becoming important factors in paving industry due to their proven effects such as better resistance to rutting, fatigue damage, stripping, and thermal cracking in asphalt pavements [33,29,7]. However, there have been difficulties in workability of PMA because of high viscosity of the modified binders and concern about the health issues due to high level of toxic fumes and continuous exposure of workers to high temperatures during paving operations.…”

The study presents an experimental evaluation of the rheological properties of control and polymer modified asphalt (PMA) binders containing wax additives and a comprehensive comparison between these two binder types. The control and PMA binders with the additives were produced using two of the available warm asphalt processes (i.e., LEADCAP and Sasobit) and then artificially shortterm and long-term aged using the rolling thin film oven (RTFO) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) procedures. Superpave binder tests were carried out on the binders through the rotational viscometer (RV), the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and the bending beam rheometer (BBR). In general the results of this study indicated that (1) the addition of wax additives into the control and PMA binders decreases the viscosity, as expected; (2) the reduction rate of viscosity was quite similar for both the binders with wax additives; (3) the percentage increase of rutting resistance due to the additives was much higher for the control binder, compared to the PMA binder; (4) both the control and PMA binders showed the similar trends in terms of fatigue cracking and low temperature cracking behavior after the addition of wax additives.

“…This type of bitumen is referred to as polymer-modified bitumen (PMB). Various polymers are used for this purpose, such as styrene butadiene styrene (SBS), styrene ethylene butadiene styrene (SEBS), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polypropylene (PP) and styrene isoprene styrene (SIS) (Chen et al, 2002;Giavarini et al, 1996;M. et al, 2003;Panda and Mazumdar, 1999;Polacco et al, 2005;Polacco et al, 2006;Sengoz et al, 2009).…”

There has been a considerable rise in road traffic in the past twenty years due to the fast-pace development of the country. In addition, the inadequate and less frequent maintenance exacerbated the deterioration of road structure. This increase in traffic volume combined with the harsh climatic environment of Iraq causes early signs of distress such as low-temperature cracking, rutting, and fatigue cracking. Polymers obtained from the local sources or recycled additive from other sources have been used in pavements to improve their performance as well as to make them more sustainable. This paper presents a laboratory evaluations that were used to determine mechanical characteristics and performance of asphalt mixtures with different types of additives such as (Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Natural Rubber (NR)) and various content. The modified asphalt mixtures were prepared with asphalt binder previously modified by using four percentages of polymer (2, 4, 6, and 8%) from the weight of asphalt binder. Many tests were conducted to evaluate mixtures performance such as (the volumetric properties, mechanical characteristics, indirect tensile strength (ITS) test, and double punching shear (DPS)). The results indicated that the PVC polymer and natural rubber improved the performance of the mixtures compared to the control mixture.
