The poor adhesion of asphalt–granite limits the application of granite. This research aims to enhance the adhesion of asphalt and granite by establishing chemical connections between the hydroxyl groups on granite surface and the incompletely reacted isocyanate groups in polyurethane (PU) modified asphalt. For this purpose, end-capped PU modified asphalt (PUMA) was prepared, the adhesion mechanism between PUMA and granite was analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, the adhesion properties between PUMA and granite at different curing periods were evaluated by boiling and pull-out tests, and the wettability of PUMA on granite and its moisture sensitivity were evaluated using surface free energy (SFE) method. The findings suggested that the incompletely reacted isocyanate groups in PUMA can establish a chemical connection with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of granite. The adhesion between asphalt and granite can be greatly improved by the addition of PU, and this improvement is amplified as the curing time is extended. When the curing time is extended to 3 days, the fracture mode between asphalt and granite changed from adhesive failure to cohesive failure, and after 15 days of curing, the coating ratio of PUMA on granite following the water boiling test can be raised by 28.11% in comparison to the base asphalt. The water damage resistance of PUMA-granite system can be increased by adding PU and the adhesion work and combination ratio of the freshly prepared PUMA were increased by 55.91% and 79.45%, respectively, as compared to base asphalt. This study has great significance for enhancing the adhesion between asphalt and granite and encouraging granite application.
