This study was conducted to investigate the performance characteristics of polymer modified bitumens (PMB) mixed with nanosilica (NS). PMB, PG 76 and NS were mixed with concentration of binder weight at 0, 2, 4 and 6 %. During the course of the mixing process, the binders were kept at 163 °C and ble...
