Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of asphalt material compositions, and particularly relates to a preparation method of anti-cracking asphalt. Background Art

[0002] Asphalt is a dark brown complex mixture composed of hydrocarbon compounds with different molecular weights and their non-metallic derivatives. It belongs to high-viscosity organic liquids, and its main components include asphaltenes, resins, etc. It is in a liquid, semi-solid or solid state at normal temperature and has characteristics such as waterproof, moisture-proof, and anti-corrosion. Asphalt is one of the most commonly used materials for building roads. However, asphalt is prone to softening at high temperatures and brittle cracking at low temperatures, resulting in insufficient durability and inability to meet more severe high and low temperature climate conditions. In the hot summer season, ruts are likely to appear on asphalt roads under heavy loads. In the cold winter season, temperature shrinkage cracks are likely to occur on asphalt roads, making it difficult to meet the road use requirements and safety requirements. With the improvement of traffic engineering grades, higher requirements are further put forward for the strength, deformation stability, fatigue durability, etc. of paving materials, and at the same time, special requirements such as high adhesiveness and water impermeability are also put forward in terms of use performance.

[0003] By modifying asphalt, including adding polymers such as rubber, fibers, resins, thermoplastic elastomers, etc. into asphalt, an elastic network structure is formed in the asphalt through swelling and adsorption. This network structure has ideal elasticity, plasticity, and extensibility, which improves the performance of asphalt.

[0004] Among them, fiber materials are cheap and abundant, so there are many studies on fiber-modified asphalt. However, the categories of fiber materials are numerous and complex, and their basic properties are quite different, resulting in differences in the modification effect of asphalt and the road use performance of modified asphalt mixtures. Among them, the factors that have a greater impact on the properties of asphalt mainly include the strength, heat resistance of the fiber itself, and the oil absorption rate and dispersibility in asphalt.

[0005] Patent CN117105555B discloses a composite fiber for asphalt pavement and its preparation method. In this solution, the composite fiber is formed by mixing modified wood fiber and modified high-silica glass fiber. Among them, the wood fiber is surface roughened with an alkaline compound and caprolactam, and the surface of the high-silica glass fiber is coated with a coupling agent. At the same time, the fibers are intertwined with each other, and the obtained composite fiber has good affinity with the asphalt matrix, and the strength and stability of the mixture are high. However, the modified wood fiber has a high oil absorption rate and adsorbs the light oil components in the asphalt, resulting in an increase in the relative content of asphaltenes and a significant increase in viscosity, which may affect the workability of construction and requires adjustment of construction temperature or process; the modified wood fiber and the modified high-silica glass fiber are intertwined with each other, although the strength is improved, but the dispersibility is also reduced, affecting the anti-cracking effect of asphalt.
