Rheological properties of composite DTDM/DOP/SBS modified asphalt and its effect on high and low temperature performance

Abstract

To investigate the effect of crosslinker (DTDM) and plasticizer (DOP) on the rheological properties of SBS modified asphalt at high and low temperatures. In this study, the composite DTDM/DOP/SBS modified asphalt was subjected to infrared spectroscopy, dynamic shear rheology, and low-temperature bending beam rheology experiments. Analysis of microscopic properties and high and low temperature rheological properties of composite DTDM/DOP/SBS modified asphalt. The findings of the tests suggest that the cross-linking agent (DTDM) and plasticizer (DOP) have a better chemical response with SBS modified asphalt. It may significantly increase SBS modified asphalt's high-temperature deformation resistance, elastic recovery capacity, low-temperature fracture resistance, and aging resistance. The research findings have theoretical and practical significance for enhancing asphalt high and low temperature performance.
