Bitumen binders modified with chemically-crosslinked chitosan
Nowadays, the observed trend in road materials technology covers the study of environmentally-friendly modifiers. Therefore, the possibility of modifying bitumen with chitosan and its mixtures with epichlorohydrin was evaluated. The studies were carried out for four different percentages of biopolymer (1.0%, 2.5%, 4.0% and 5.5%) and two percentages (1% and 2%) of crosslinking agents and included the assessment of their influence on the basic binder properties, surface free energy parameters and chemical structure. The results indicate that the appropriately selected quantitative chitosan/epichlorohydrin ratio leads to their crosslinking inside the bitumen causing a softening effect. The study also shows the possible benefits of using biopolymer-modified binders in the production of asphalt mixtures by the enhancement of surface-free energy parameters and reduction of the dynamic viscosity. Chitosan is an environmentally-friendly biodegradable biopolymer, and its chemical crosslinking has a positive effect on the properties of modified bitumen.
