The rheological properties of asphalt binders modified by styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) depend on formulation variables. The most sensitive of them may be listed as polymer amount, cross-linking agent amount (percentage), and other additives such as polyphosphoric acid (PPA). The dispersion of SBS in an asphalt binder depends on the time and temperature of blending and the base asphalt binder compatibility. In this study an incompatible binder and a compatible base asphalt binder were selected and modified with various amounts of SBS. Elemental sulfur was used as a cross-linking agent in different proportions. Other additives, such as PPA at 0.5% concentration, were also used. High shear blends of SBS-modified asphalt binders were made in the laboratory by varying blending time until an optimum dispersion of polymer was obtained. The dispersion of the polymer was studied with a fluorescence microscope. A multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test was used to study creep and recovery behavior of these modified binders. MSCR test results ( Jnr and percentage recovery) were able to characterize the extent of dispersion of SBS in these polymer-modified asphalts (PMA). This implies that a fundamental test method is now available to discriminate between the dump-and-stir types of PMAs and those that have been optimally dispersed. This presentation discusses the effect of SBS dispersion and other additives on the MSCR test results.
