The influence of polymer on rheological and thermo oxidative aging properties of modified bitumen binders
Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) has been used for many years to improve the performance of asphalt concretes against premature pavement defects. In this research, modified samples were prepared with 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) polymer by weight of bitumen binder. The infl...
