With the rapid development of economic construction, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt is being more and more widely used in highway engineering, but there are still many deficiencies in the process of its use. In order to further improve its performance for use, nano-organic palygorskite (A-Pal) and star-shaped SBS were compounded to obtain modified asphalt in this study. The high-temperature stability of SBS-modified asphalt was enhanced after incorporation with A-Pal for the high-temperature stability test by a dynamic shear rheometer. The A-Pal should improve the surface free energy and adhesion of SBS-modified asphalt by the water stability test analysis. The aging test shows that A-Pal can reduce the thermal oxygen decomposition of SBS and improve the anti-aging performance and the fatigue resistance of SBS-modified asphalt. A-Pal has a certain improvement effect on the low temperature performance of SBS-modified asphalt as shown by a low temperature crack resistance test. A-Pal-compounded SBS-modified asphalt features good storage stability in normal temperatures with the lowest critical compatibility temperature.

Nanomaterials are increasingly being used in road engineering with the development of road construction technology. The smoke suppression performance of asphalt can be substantially improved using organic nano-montmorillonite (OMMT)/styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block modifiers. Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (PY-GC-MS), fluorescence microscopy (FM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were used to explore the characteristics and microscopic mechanisms of flue gas emissions.

Bitumen exhibits viscoelastic properties, showcasing both viscous and elastic behaviors, which are characterized by the phase angle and dynamic modulus. Issues like early fatigue fractures, rutting, and permanent deformations in bituminous asphalt pavements arise due to moisture susceptibility, high-temperature deformation, low-temperature cracking, and overloading. These distresses result in potholes, alligator cracks, and specific deformations that lead to early pavement failure, increasing rehabilitation and maintenance costs.

Article Synopsis
- This study tests composite modification techniques to enhance the performance of recycled asphalt, using high-viscosity agents (HVA) and crumb rubber materials (CRM) combined with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) to create modified asphalt samples.
- The performance of four types of asphalt mixtures, including virgin and three recycled mixtures with 50% reclaimed asphalt content, was analyzed through various tests, revealing that higher kinematic viscosity leads to increased optimum asphalt content and enhanced adhesion in dry conditions.
- Results indicate that while SBS-CRM significantly boosts moisture sensitivity and low-temperature cracking resistance compared to other modified asphalts, the choice of modification method should align with climate and loading conditions for optimal performance and sustainability.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the tensile properties and nanoscale phase structures of various modified asphalts, including virgin asphalt and three specific modifications, using advanced testing methods like force-ductility tests and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
- The results indicate that while all three modified asphalts exhibit ductile fracture traits, SBS&CR asphalt requires less activation energy during stretching compared to SBS and SBS&TiO, suggesting a difference in energy efficiency during the process.
- Furthermore, SBS&CR and SBS&TiO asphalts displayed superior tensile properties and resistance to aging, with TiO enhancing phase stability by reducing polar molecule aggregation and surface roughness while showing a more pronounced aging effect on SBS&CR asphalt.
