Hybrid Rubberised Bitumen from Reactive and Non-Reactive Ethylene Copolymers

Hybrid modification is a relatively new concept of incorporating two or more polymeric modifiers of different nature to a bitumen, in order to take advantage of their complementary features. Aiming to this, in this paper, the so-called Hybrid Systems (HSs) were prepared by the addition of an ethylen...

This enhancement is attributed to the development of a multiphasic system composed of non-dissolved CTR particles, a polymer-rich phase and an asphaltene-rich phase. In the case of non-reactive HSs, droplets of swollen ethylene copolymer form a well-defined dispersed phase.
