This invention discloses a toughened-self-healing composite modified No. 50 Grade A
asphalt and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of
road engineering materials. The
asphalt comprises the following raw materials: 100 parts of No. 50 Grade A road
petroleum asphalt; 5.0-8.0 parts of
functional monomer A; 1.0-4.0 parts of self-healing microcapsules; 0.04-0.112 parts of initiator; and 0.05-0.24 parts of crosslinking agent. The
functional monomer A is composed of
styrene and
butyl acrylate in a
mass ratio of 25:75-35:65. A one-step preparation method is used, where
styrene and
butyl acrylate are copolymerized in situ in the asphalt and lightly crosslinked to achieve
toughening, while the introduction of self-healing microcapsules imparts a self-healing function. This invention improves the low-temperature
ductility, high-temperature stability, storage stability, and damage self-healing ability of asphalt, and the process is simple and controllable, making it suitable for high-grade roads and heavy-duty traffic pavements.
