Abstract This work examines the modification of asphalt with hydrogenated poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) copolymer containing different amounts of butadiene and ethylene-co-butylene. The polymer composition can be described generically as poly (styrene−[(butadiene)1−x−(ethylene−co−butylene)x]−styrene), where x is the hydrogenated fraction of the molecule. These hydrogenated (SBEBS) copolymers were produced by in-situ hydrogenation following a Ziegler-Natta catalytic reaction of poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) tri-block copolymers (SBS), which were previously synthesized by anionic polymerization. Control over the hydrogenation time produces SBEBS polymers with various degrees of saturation of the polybutadiene block, as characterized by FTIR, HNMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Polymer-modified asphalts (PMA) were obtained by a high-temperature mixing process with AC-20 asphalt (Salamanca, Mexico) and SBS or SBEBS copolymers. PMA samples were characterized before and after high-temperature storage tests by fluorescence microscopy, rheometry, and mechanical tests. Results indicate that PMA obtained from SBEBS contain a polymer matrix with well-dispersed asphalt rich phase, with improved mechanical and thermal stability over those PMA produced with SBS. Compatibility between SBEBS and the aromatic fraction of maltenes can explain the dispersion of the polymer in asphalt and the enhanced properties.

This work presents the results of optimization compositions of polymer-modified binder (PMB) by a compromise task. The conducted study of influence two prescription factors – containing styrene-butadiene-styrene and sulfur – on which is a set of indicators of polymer-bitumen binders were carried out. The regularities of these factors of mutual influence were established by such indicators as the Fraas brittleness temperature, penetration, softening point, ductility. The dosages of SBS and sulfur have been determined by ensuring the achievement of the required level of PBB indicators in accordance with GOST R 52056-2003 «Bitumen-polymer road binders are based on styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers.

Abstract In butadiene styrene copolymers containing long block sequences chain segments associate with like segments to form a two phase structure. Properties of such polymers are dependent not only on composition and molecular weight but also on block sequence along the chain. Polymers containing two or more polystyrene blocks per molecule form networks and exhibit elastomeric properties in the uncured state resembling those of filler reinforced vulcanizates. This behavior is shown both by linear styrene-butadiene-styrene elastomers and multichain block copolymers branched in the polybutadiene blocks. A prominent loss tangent peak was observed around —40° C for the multichain polymers. Stress strain following prestretching and stress relaxation measurements indicate some shifting of polystyrene associations during stretching. Tensile strength is reduced by increasing temperature and addition of plasticizers. Reinforcement by polystyrene domains in vulcanized block copolymers is evident from tensile strength, dynamic modulus, and swelling measurements, but decreases with increased crosslinking. The number of styrene sequences in the primary molecules is less important after vulcanization as crosslinking destroys the individuality of the original polymer chains.

Abstract Dynamic mechanical measurements were performed with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers, Kraton D-1101 and D-l 102. Isochronal data were obtained from −130 to 85°C in the tensile mode at 1 Hz and from 60 to 160°C in the shear mode at 1 rad/s. The isothermal measurements were also performed at 60, 90, 120, 140, and 160°C in the frequency range of 0.0316 to 100 rad/s. The results suggest that the two polymers have different morphologies although the styrene content and the diblock content are about the same for both polymers. Kraton D-1101, which has 1.5 times higher molecular weight, has 3–5 times higher rubbery modulus, compared to D-1102. The lower molecular weight polymer, D-1102, appears to have a larger amount of the mixed phase at the boundary. This is suggest by the lower temperature of the “domain disruption”, Tdd and the higher magnitude of tan δ at Tdd. This explains the difference in the rubbery moduli of the two polymers.
