The invention discloses a novel modifier with
basalt fibers for
asphalt mixtures and a method for preparing the novel modifier. The novel modifier is made of the
basalt fibers and high-adhesion
wetting agents. The novel modifier comprises, by weight, 85-98 parts of the
basalt fibers, 0-10 parts of film-forming agents A, 0-10 parts of film-forming agents B, 0.1-0.6 part of antistatic agents, 0.2-3.5 parts of
coupling agents, 0.1-2 parts of lubricants and 0.1-1.3 parts of modified nanometer SiO2. The method includes mixing the film-forming agents A, the film-forming agents B, the antistatic agents, the
coupling agents, the lubricants and the modified nanometer SiO2 with one another to obtain mixtures and stirring the mixtures;
wetting and wrapping the basalt fibers and
cutting the basalt fibers into short pieces so as to obtain the novel modifier. The novel modifier and the method have the vantages that irritating
odor rarely can be generated in modifier
preparation procedures; the novel modifier can be added into the
asphalt mixtures, accordingly, various road properties of the
asphalt mixtures can be effectively improved, the anti-rutting performance and the
fatigue cracking resistance of pavements can be improved, and the service lives of roads can be greatly prolonged.
