[0002] The adhesion between asphalt and aggregates plays an important role in the strength and stability of asphalt mixtures. Polymer-modified asphalt can improve the viscosity of asphalt, but the improvement of the adhesion between asphalt and aggregates is limited; the anti-stripping agent only improves the interfacial bonding performance and does not fundamentally provide long-term guarantee for the adhesion between asphalt and aggregates; fillers such as cement and lime require a relatively high dosage to produce good modification effects, it is difficult to coordinate the road performance of asphalt mixtures, and it is easy to cause conflicts in the road performance of mixtures and generate performance defects.
[0003] There have been some studies on the surface energy and adhesion work of asphalt and aggregates at home and abroad, but the formulation design, preparation and application methods of high-adhesion filler enhancers for asphalt pavements have not been reported at home and abroad. Starting from the relationship between adhesion performance and mixture composition, the present invention proposes a formulation design, preparation and application method of a high-adhesion filler modifier for asphalt pavements, providing technical support for the development, preparation and application of modified fillers for asphalt pavements.
