This research demonstrates enhanced rheological properties of modified asphalt using polymeric materials, suggesting a viable alternative to traditional methods.
Key Points
Chemical treatment significantly improves the rheological properties of asphalt compared to physical treatment.
The addition of polymeric materials notably increases asphaltene percentages, with the highest for AsPS at 44.5%.
Evaluation involved local and international standards, confirming the modified asphalt's suitability for waterproofing applications.
Polymeric waste materials were used to lower costs and reduce environmental pollution in asphalt modification.
