Abstract:Coumarone-indene (CIR) and coumarone-indene-carbazole resins (CICR) were obtained by ionic cooligomerization based on fractions extracted from liquid products of coal coking (gasoline fractions and coal tar). CIR and CICR are used as road bitumen modifiers to improve thermal resistance and adhesion. A cheap plasticizer has been selected to be used with CIR to produce polymer-modified bitumen (PMB). The change in the composition and properties of bitumen modified with CIR was described. A method for estimating … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
