Abstract

Fundamental models should be developed and utilized in order to facilitate the chemo-mechanical design of modified binder systems for paving applications but not only. Especially, the fact that the incorporation of newchemical substances used as bio-based modifiers or alternative binders is attracting great interest to replace traditional technologies, the development of tools able to provide insight into the various physio-chemical phenomena is crucial. Among other polymer-bitumen interaction phenomena, the dissolution mechanism of polymers in bitumen is a significant aspect that should be considering in order to enhance binder properties through polymer modification. The current research gives emphasis on modelling the mechanism of dissolution for rubbery polymers in bitumen.
