Effect of styrene butadiene styrene and desulfurized rubber powder on asphalt modification: Preparation, performance enhancement, mechanism analysis.

The aim of this study is to propose a desulfurized rubber powder / styrene butadiene styrene (DRP/SBS) composite modified asphalt technology by combining the advantages of DRP and SBS. This reduces the production cost of modified asphalt and improves the performance of asphalt. In this paper, orthogonal tests were used to optimize preparation process parameters of DRP/SBS composite modified asphalt.

Recycling waste engine oil as a viscosity reducer for asphalt rubber: an insight from molecular dynamics simulations and laboratory tests.

Traditional asphalt rubber (AR) has a high viscosity and poor fluidity, which makes its construction very difficult. Reducing viscosity has been identified as one of the effective way of solving these problems. Meanwhile, the mass production and improper discharge of waste engine oil (WEO) have a serious impact on the ecological environment, and its rational reuse needs to be addressed.
