Abstract

Asphalt modification with polymers has utilized the advantages of nanotechnology including nanoclays as one of the components in addition to polymers. This led to the metamorphosis of polymer-modified asphalts into a new class of material called polymer-modified asphalt nanocomposites which offer the cumulative characteristic features obtained by the polymer modification of asphalt as well as the innovative properties experienced from polymer nanocomposites. Polymer-modified asphalt nanocomposites including styrene butadiene and ethylene vinyl acetate have revealed additional features which were not available in polymer-modified asphalts. The compositional complexity provides a great challenge in addressing the structure–property relations prevailing in these materials. This paper describes microstructural features as determined by Qwin Plus Software analysis and the rheological properties on compositional changes.
