Benefits of technology

[0020] The object of the present invention is to provide a modified asphalt composition containing asymmetric styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copol

Problems solved by technology

Conventional bitumen asphalt compositions frequently can not meet all of the requirements, when it is used for pavement of road or manufacturing water-proof sheet.
Further, at high temperature, the permanent deformation of asphalt composition can occur due to high temperature and high pressure.
Also, at low temperature, the fatigue crack can occur at the bottom of asphalt by repeated weight pressure whereas the cracking can occur at the top of asphalt by repeated tensile strength according to rapid change of temperature.
Further, a natural asphalt composition has the drawbacks by declining

Preparation of Asymmetric Styrene-butadiene-styrene Triblock Copolymer

[0044] 2L of reactor is fully purged with argon gas. Then, 900 g of purified cyclohexane and 20 g of styrene are added with maintaining the temperature at 70° C. Cyclohexane solution (1.3 M concentration) containing 2 mmol of n-butyllithium(BuLi) as initiator is added to reactor, and polymerization reaction is initiated. After 10 minutes lapse at the highest polymerization temperature, 170 g of butadiene is added to initiate polymerization. After 5 minutes lapse at the highest polymerization temperature, 10 g of styrene is added to initiate polymerization. The polymerization is terminated by addition of a small amount of methanol to reaction solution. After completely removing the activity of leaving polymer, addition of anti-oxidant is carried out.

[0045] The removal of solvent in the obtained polymer mixture solution is carried out using steam. Then, cream type of asymmetric styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock c...

Preparation of Asymmetric Styrene-butadiene-styrene Triblock Copolymer

[0046] 2L of reactor is fully purged with argon gas. Then, 900 g of purified cyclohexane and 25 g of styrene are added with maintaining the temperature at 70° C. Cyclohexane solution (1.3 M concentration) containing 2 mmol of n-butyllithium(BuLi) as initiator is added to reactor, and polymerization reaction is initiated. After 10 minutes lapse at the highest polymerization temperature, 170 g of butadiene is added to initiate polymerization. After 5 minutes lapse at the highest polymerization temperature, 5 g of styrene is added to initiate polymerization. The polymerization is terminated by addition of a small amount of methanol to reaction solution. After completely removing the activity of leaving polymer, addition of anti-oxidant is carried out.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a modified asphalt composition containing asymmetric styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer as modifier. More particularly, this invention relates to a modified asphalt composition containing asymmetric styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer showing an excellent balance of ductility at low temperatures and high flow resistance at high temperatures. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Conventional bitumen asphalt compositions frequently can not meet all of the requirements, when it is used for pavement of road or manufacturing water-proof sheet. Further, at high temperature, the permanent deformation of asphalt composition can occur due to high temperature and high pressure. Also, at low temperature, the fatigue crack can occur at the bottom of asphalt by repeated weight pressure whereas the cracking can occur at the top of asphalt by repeated tensile strength according to rapid change of temperature. Further, ...
