The asphalt industry is increasingly developing with greater focus on sustainability. This study focuses the benefits of a binder modification stone mastic (SMA) by adding rubber—ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)—into class 320 bitumen. observes advantages that occur for rutting and fatigue performance samples. was made incorporating 0, 2, 4 6% weight into each sample. tests performed sam...

A new concept is introduced in this study, suggesting the role played by ZnO crystal sulfur crosslinking polymers, particularly, rubber blends of EPDM-CTS. The study conducted a polymer blend ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) and cyclic tetrasulfide (CTS). CTS reactive low molecular weight polymer, which can act as donor. It proposed that occurs at surface crystals. reaction site creat...
