“…Keratin has a crosslinked structure similar to that of radial SBS, and then, it may be responsible for the similar rheological effects of both materials on the asphalt binder. The modifying effect becomes more evident above 85 °C, as previously reported [30,31]. Since G*/sin δ indicates the degree of asphalt resistance to deformation when exposed to stress, it can be inferred that the CFP addition may be equivalent to the use of radial SBS in a wide range of thermal conditions.…”

In the present work, the evaluation of chicken feather particles (CFP) and styrene-butadiene/chicken feather (SBS-CF) composites as modifiers for asphalt binder is presented. It is well known that elastomers are the best asphalt modifiers, because their thermoplastic behavior assists asphalts in improving the range of their mechanical properties at both low and high temperatures. Nowadays, the use of natural products and byproducts as fillers for polymer matrices has been a matter of research, and the field of asphalt modification is not the exception. Chicken feather particles (CFP) is a waste material whose main component is keratin, which offers remarkable properties. In the present work, CFP was used as a filler of a styrene-butadiene rubber matrix (SBS) with radial structure, to obtain a composite intended as an asphalt modifier. Besides, raw CFP was also tested as an asphalt modifier. Physical, thermal and rheological properties of the modified asphalts were evaluated in order to determine their degree of modification with respect to the original asphalt. The results show that the addition of raw CFP improves some physical properties as penetration and decreases the phase separation; furthermore, the asphalt modified with CFP displayed similar rheological properties to those shown by the asphalt modified with SBS, while some other properties resulted in being even better, like the phase separation, with the advantage that the CFP comes from a natural waste product.

“…The storage stability of modified binders was quantitatively analyzed through characterizing the differences in softening point [16,17], complex moduli [24][25][26] and absorbance ratio of CRM/SBR/SBS in the infrared spectrum between the top and bottom portions of the sample after storing. For FTIR tests, the test binder with a thickness of approximately 1 mm was placed in a transmission holder and scanned in order to obtain infrared spectroscopy ranging from 4,000 to 400 cm −1 .…”

“…The colloidal size with adequate surface area can make the solid particles (nano-montmorillonite) move randomly in asphalt fractions rather than directly ascend (or descend) in vertical direction [35]. What's more, the stable disperse of nano-montmorillonites in virgin asphalt can also be attributed to the penetration of the asphalt fractions into the nano-montmorillonite layers, which modified the original structure to intercalated or exfoliated structure within asphalt components [17,21].…”

The storage stability concern, caused by phase separation for the density difference between polymers and asphalt fractions, has limited the widespread application of polymer modified asphalt (PMA). Therefore, this study aims to improve the storage concern of PMA by incorporating nano-montmorillonite. To this end, different nano-montmorillonites were incorporated to three PMAs modified with three typical asphalt modifiers, i.e., crumb rubber (CRM), styrene–butadiene-rubber (SBR) and styrene–butadiene-styrene (SBS). A series of laboratory tests were performed to evaluate the storage stability and rheological properties of PMA binders with nano-montmorillonite. As a consequence, the incorporation of nano-montmorillonite exhibited a remarkable effect on enhancing the storage stability of the CRM modified binder, but limited positive effects for the SBR and SBS modified binders. The layered nano-montmorillonite transformed to intercalated or exfoliated structures after interaction with asphalt fractions, providing superior storage stability. Among selected nano-montmorillonites, the pure montmorillonite with Hydroxyl organic ammonium performed the best on enhancing storage stability of PMA. This paper suggests that nano-montmorillonite is a promising modifier to alleviate the storage stability concern for asphalt with polymer modifiers.

“…Also, there is a side effect of the use of sulfur, as some studies have indicated that there was some element of insoluble sulfur in the vapour produced during the process of mixing and dumping of the asphalt mixture which could have bad effects on the safety of workers, particularly effects on the eyes and skin. Thus, antioxidants [22], nanomaterials [10,[23][24][25], and other functionalization of polymers [24,26] are proposed. Overall, sulfur stabilizers remain the most widely used.…”

Identifying the Long-Term Thermal Storage Stability of SBS-Polymer-Modified Asphalt, including Physical Indexes, Rheological Properties, and Micro-Structures Characteristics

The thermal storage stability of styrene–butadiene–styrene tri-block copolymer modified bitumen (SBSPMB) is the key to avoid performance attenuation during storage and transportation in pavement engineering. However, existing evaluation index softening point difference within 48 h (ΔSP48) cannot effectively distinguish this attenuation of SBSPMB. Thus, conventional physical indexes, rheological properties, and micro-structure characteristics of SBSPMB during a 10-day storage were investigated in this research. Results showed that during long-term thermal storage under 163 °C for 10 days, penetration, ductility, softening point, recovery rate (R%), and anti-rutting factor (G*/sinδ) were decayed with storage time increasing. This outcome was ascribed to the phase separation of SBS, which mainly occurred after a 4-day storage. However, ΔSP48 after a 6-day storage met the specification requirements (i.e., below 2.5 °C). Thus, the attenuation degree of asphalt performance in field storage was not effectively characterized by ΔSP48 alone. Results from network strength (I) and SBS swelling degree tests revealed that the primary cause was SBS degradation and base asphalt aging. Moreover, conventional indexes, including penetration, ductility, and softening point, were used to build a prediction model for rheological properties after long-term storage using partial least squares regression model, which can effectively predict I, R, Jnr, G*/sinδ, and SBS amount. Correlation coefficient is above 0.8. G*/sinδ and I at the top and bottom storage locations had high coefficient with SBS amount. Thus, phase separation of SBSPMB should be evaluated during thermal storage.
