The objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the devulcanized polyethylene terephthalate in enhancing the performance characteristics of modified asphalt binders. The physical and rheological behavior of four binder samples were investigated using the penetration, softening point, storage stability, rotational viscometer, and dynamic shear rheometer tests. The polymer tends to decrease penetration and increase softening point, viscosity, and permanent deformation resistance of modified binders in comparison with base asphalt binders. However, this processed polymer could not be considered storage stable blend at high temperatures.
