A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The present thesis is based on six publications, including a literature review (Paper I) and experimental studies (Papers II - VI) on polymer modified bitumens. In the literature review, basic aspects of bitumen chemistry and rheology and characteristics of the polymers used for bitumen modification are described. Test methods and specifications of polymer modified bitumens are reviewed. The present situation in this area and the need for further development are also discussed. The experimental part deals with laboratory investigations of five bitumens from four sources modified with six polymers (four types) a different polymer content. The main objective of the laboratory work is to study fundamental properties of polymer modified binders, which include rheological properties, temperature, susceptibility, compatibility (morphology), storage stability, low-temperature properties and aging behavior. The effects of bitumen source/grade and polymer type and content on these properties are evaluated.
