“…This temperature susceptibility limits its application and, therefore, it is essential to enhance the performance of AC by the addition of various modifiers, such as rubber, polymer, and nanoparticles [5][6][7]. In recent years, polymeric materials are commonly used as additives for modifying asphalt-road surfaces [4,8], thereby mitigating numerous main causes of asphalt-pavement disasters that occurred over the last years [9][10][11][12]. These polymers were reported to improve the properties of bitumen, such as its stiffness at high temperatures, cracking resistance at low temperatures, moisture resistance, and fatigue life [13,14].…”
