This study optimizes crumb rubber (CR)/SBS-composite-modified bitumen using advanced methods. The research achieved superior performance and storage stability, offering insights for tire recycling and bitumen applications.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Civil Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
Background:
- Crumb rubber (CR) and styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) are crucial modifiers for bitumen.
- Optimizing composite-modified bitumen is essential for enhanced performance and durability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To enhance the performance of CR/SBS-composite-modified bitumen.
- To analyze the effects of process parameters on bitumen properties.
- To optimize modifier dosages for superior high- and low-temperature performance.
Main Methods:
- Orthogonal experimental design to analyze process parameters (addition sequence, shearing duration, temperature, speed).
- Box-Behnken response surface methodology for predictive modeling of modifier dosages.
- Entropy-weighted TOPSIS method for multi-objective optimization of proportioning schemes.
Main Results:
- A reasonable preparation process significantly improves modifier dispersion.
- Distinct non-linear interactions were observed among modifier dosages.
- An optimal proportion was identified, balancing high- and low-temperature performance.
Conclusions:
- The developed models demonstrate good predictive accuracy.
- Optimized CR/SBS-composite-modified bitumen exhibits excellent conventional properties and storage stability.
- Findings provide a theoretical reference for waste tire recycling and composite-modified bitumen engineering applications.
