“…NR is an ecologically friendly elastomer that possesses strong cycle load performance and great elasticity with a high molecular weight of hydrocarbon polymers. These distinctive qualities include elasticity, thermal stability, resilience, and the ability to tolerate high strain [2]. There are three primary different types of natural rubber which are natural rubber latex (NRL), epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and a recently developed type called cup lump natural rubber (CLNR) [3], which is created when latex is left to coagulate in the presence of bacteria.…”

Road degradation is a common problem in Malaysia which caused by weather changes, expanding loads as well as the effects of ageing, moisture and temperature results in high maintenance expenses on conventional bitumen pavement. Therefore, it has been recommended on the modification of bitumen as a substitute technique to address this issue and extend the pavement’s lifespan. This study addresses the inadequacy of existing solutions by focusing on the direct mixing approach and the use of pre-treatment using chemical solvent and some additives specifically on epoxidized natural rubber, natural rubber latex and cup lump natural rubber (CLNR). Additionally, this study intends to give a brief summary of how bitumen performance is improved by the inclusion of additives or modifiers by emphasizing the key attributes of modified bitumen after the addition of modifiers. Further information is also provided on the quantity and application method of each addition in order to determine the ideal value for different applications. This study will examine the use of several additives based on past research, such as polyphosphoric acid, Zychotherm, as well as the use of toluene and xylene to maintain the homogeneity of the rubberized bitumen. Studies on the usage of cup lump natural rubber (CLNR) are not common, thus future study should investigate more closely at CLNR and its mixing technique. This research contributes to the field by providing insights into the practical application of modified bitumen for sustainable road construction, especially in regions with a significant rubber industry.

“…Road construction is a key strategy for rubber-producing countries to increase utilisation and stabilise the price of natural rubber (NR). NR is a renewable resource with a high molecular weight of hydrocarbon polymers, and is an environmentally friendly elastomer that has not only excellent elasticity but also good cyclical load performance [2,4]. Its complex molecular chains create strong bonds and structures, producing a number of unique traits, such as elasticity, the capacity to withstand high tension, thermal stability and resiliency, which contribute to its use in polymer-modified bitumen [2].…”

“…Paving technologists have tried to enhance bitumen pavements by using innovative methods to design and develop durable pavements. One such effort is bitumen modification, which aims to transform and improve the characteristics of bitumen to optimise the long-term performance of pavements and minimise temperature dependence, oxidative bitumen hardening and the moisture susceptibility of bitumen mixes [2]. Previous studies obtained encouraging results for polymer-modified bitumen, highlighting the application of polymers in bitumen, which has sparked much interest in recent years.…”

Conventional bitumen pavement is no longer suitable for handling increasing loads and weather variations, which cause road deterioration, Thus, the modification of bitumen has been suggested to counter this issue. This study provides a detailed assessment of various additives for modifying natural rubber-modified bitumen used in road construction. This work will focus on the use of additives with cup lump natural rubber (CLNR), which has recently started to gain attention among researchers, especially in rubber-producing countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Furthermore, this paper aims to briefly review how the addition of additives or modifiers helps elevate the performance of bitumen by highlighting the significant properties of modified bitumen after the addition of modifiers. Moreover, the amount and method of application of each additive are discussed further to obtain the optimum value for future implementation. On the basis of past studies, this paper will review the utilisation of several types of additives, including polyphosphoric acid, Evotherm, mangosteen powder, trimethyl-quinoline and sulphur, and the application of xylene and toluene to ensure the homogeneity of the rubberised bitumen. Numerous studies were conducted to verify the performance of various types and compositions of additives, particularly in terms of physical and rheological properties. In general, additives enhance the properties of conventional bitumen. Future research should investigate CLNR because studies on its utilisation are limited.

Modified asphalt is a solution of altering and improving the properties of the bitumen to enhance the long term performance of pavements [37]. Bio-oil is blended with the base binder as an additives at different percentage values of weight binder to produce bio modified binder by using mixer and suitable rotation speed and time.…”

Raising the prices of crude petroleum is affected to good performance for the asphalt paving and has encouraged to modify or replace asphalt bitumen. Increasing numbers of commercial vehicles and increase axle load that this trend will continue yearly. Design, construction and maintenance facilitate asphalt roads to provide the high standards of safety and comfortable but certain areas of a road are higher stressed than others. For that reason road paving industry is interested in utilizing alternative and sustainable binder materials for modified asphalt to improve the production, placement and performance of asphalt mixtures. However, sources of materials should be considered economically and environtmentally viable after applied in pavement. According to previous research, that has been developed that non crude petroleum binder derived from the production of bio-oil through fast pyrolysis of biomass. The main source of bio-oil can be contributed from biomass industry or renewable organic industry such as timber waste, oil palm waste, rice husk; coconut trunk fibers, municipal waste and sugar cane waste. Alternatively, the bio-oil can be as substitute material as modification of asphalt. This paper presents a review on the source, characteristic of bio-oil and the effects of bio-oil on the properties of asphalt bitumen.
