Abstract:

To determine the thermal stability of styrene⁃butadiene⁃styrene block copolymer (SBS)/nano⁃calcium carbonate composite⁃modified asphalt, the stability mechanism and qualitative judgment method were studied by using infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and material surface interface chemistry theory. Through using a softening point correlation method and an infrared spectroscopy technology correlation method, the regression models of softening point, SBS characteristic peak area, and modifier content were fitted, and a data model for softening point and SBS characteristic peak area was established. The results indicated that nano⁃calcium carbonate improved the thermal stability of SBS⁃modified asphalt through a physical action. The stability of the system was good a softening point difference ≤ 2.5 ℃, a SBS content difference ≤ 0.34 %, and a CaCO3 content difference ≤ 0.15 %. The infrared spectral correlation method revealed the internal factors of the system stability. The system was stable when the difference of characteristic peak area at 966 cm-1 was less than 0.24 and the softening point difference was less than 2.5 °C. The regression results indicated that the data model of softening point and SBS characteristic peak area established by this study was statistically significant, which could construct a new evaluation system for the study of the thermal stability of SBS/nanomaterials composite⁃modified asphalt.
