The main reasons and ways of bitumen modification by polymers were examined. Positive and negative aspects of the usage of different polymer modifiers (elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers, reactive polymers, thermoplastics) were analysed. The authors’ achievements concerning modification of bitumen by various polymers, namely indene-coumarone, petroleum, phenol-formaldehyde and epoxy resins, were described.
