| Summary | Annotation The addition of polymers to bitumen allows the modification of certain physical properties, such as softening point, brittleness and ductility, of the bitumen.Polymer modified bitumen: Properties and characterisationprovides a valuable and in-depth coverage of the science and technology of polymer modified bitumen.After an initial introduction to bitumen and polymer modified bitumen, the book is divided into two parts. Chapters in part one focus on the preparation and properties of a range of polymer modified bitumen, including polymer bitumen emulsions, modification of bitumen with poly (urethanes), waste rubber and plastic and polypropylene fibers. Part two addresses the characterization and properties of polymer modified bitumen. Chapter topics covered include rheology, simulated and actual long term aging studies; the solubility of bituminous binders in fuels and the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to study aging/oxidation of polymer modified bitumen.Polymer modified bitumenis an essential reference for scientists and engineers, from both academia and the civil engineering and transport industries, interested in the properties and characterization of polymer modified bitumen. |
