“…Indeed, in a previous work, we showed that increasing the TPU hard segment content led to a decrease in the polymer swelling in the bitumen [42] (see supporting information Figure S 3) which can now be related to the increased incompatibility coming from the hard segment.…”

“…In a previous study, we have shown the interest of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as a new polymer additive in polymer-modified bitumen [32]. TPU is basically composed of three components: a polyol, a diisocyanate, and a chain extender (low molar mass diol) [33][34][35].…”

“…It is well documented that asphaltenes are not involved in the compatibilization mechanism of conventional polymer additives in a bitumen [13]. In fact, as the formulation leads to a biphasic material, where the maltenes swell the polymer, the asphaltenes remain apart [32].…”

“…In [3], a new type of polymer-modified bitumen is proposed, which considers the use of thermoplastic polyurethane as an alternative to styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymers. The authors found that this additive has poor compatibility with bitumen.…”

“…After studying the works [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], it was found that the modification of bitumens with both known and new modifiers and their compositions can change the properties of binders. However, it should be noted that today the best option for modifying viscous road bitumens are thermoelastoplastic and thermoplastic polymers, which have long proven themselves in the world markets of road bitumen modifiers.…”

The effect of modification of asphalt concrete mixtures of different grain sizes with “Ric-Polycell” (Ukraine) and “Duroflex®-SMA” thermoplastic polymers (Germany), which were added directly to the asphalt mixer during their preparation, on the properties of asphalt concrete was studied. It is confirmed that it is more expedient to use stone mastic asphalt concretes with a larger size of mineral crushed stone grains on high-traffic roads, as they are more rutting-resistant compared to asphalt concretes with smaller size and content of crushed stone grains. The effect of the temperature of preparation and thermostating of asphalt concrete mixtures modified with the investigated thermoplastics on the compressive strength of asphalt concrete at a temperature of 50 °С, which were made of the studied mixtures, was investigated. It was found that the maximum possible temperatures of preparation and thermostating of asphalt concrete mixes provide a more complete modification. The effect of the content of thermoplastic polymers in the composition of asphalt concrete mixtures on the properties and rutting resistance of fine-grained asphalt concrete, as well as stone mastic asphalt concrete, was studied. It was found that adding the “Ric-Polycell” polymer in the amount of 1.5 % and 3 % by weight of bitumen in the composition of the studied asphalt mixtures in the asphalt mixer during their preparation increases the rutting resistance of asphalt concrete under the studied conditions by 2.52–3.86 times. Modification of asphalt concrete mixtures with the “Duroflex®-SMA” additive in the amount of 0.3 % and 0.6 % by weight of the aggregate by a similar technology also allows increasing the rutting resistance of the obtained asphalt concrete by 1.86–3.16 times. Using these modifiers in the future will have a positive effect on the service life of the entire pavement structure

This research presents an investigation on the incorporation of atactic polypropylene (APP) as a modifier in bitumen at weight concentrations from 0 to 30 wt%. An APP-modified bitumen (APPMB) was prepared by conventional, hot, and in situ blending and characterized for mechanical, morphological, thermal, structural, and physical properties. APPMB specimens using maleic anhydride (MA) functionalized polymer at its optimized concentration of 20 weight percentage (wt%), along at several other concentrations, were pre-
