| Summary: | Polymer modified asphalt binder have gained high interest in recent years
due to its promising performance. However, the uses of natural polymer such as
natural latex is susceptible to contamination and require certain treatment to reduce
the water content. This issue can cause the low homogeneity with asphalt binder.
Therefore, this study explored another type of synthetic polymer, Styrene-Butadiene
Rubber (SBR) coagulum. The base binder of penetration grade 60/70 was blended
with 5% of SBR coagulum to determine the suitable blending temperature and
blending time. Then this modified binder was further testing for physical properties
penetration and ductility test. The results showed the penetration value decreased with
increasing blending temperature and time. The suitable blending temperature and
time were found as 190C and 120 minutes. For conclusion, the application of using
SBR coagulum as modifier has a good potential as asphalt binder modifier. |
