Abstract

By integrating the design of high-performance material with solid structural design, flexible pavement performance can be increased and the service life extended. In the context of creating highways the topic of asphalt polymer modification and the incorporation of polymers in asphalt material by mechanical mixing or chemical reaction, has received substantial scholarly coverage. A wide range of polymers types are used in the method of changing asphalt material and subsequently enhancing hot mixed asphalt. The main objective of this paper is to review prior research on employing polymer materials to develop the qualities of asphalt cement and hot mixed asphalt. This study reviews three different types of polymers. These polymers are Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polyvinyl chloride polymers (PVC). According to earlier studies in this area, these polymers are elastomers and plastomers that are utilized to enhance the mechanical properties of hot-mix asphalt while also increasing the stability, elasticity, and stiffness of asphalt binders. The overall performance of asphalt pavement can be achieved by reducing the possibility of rutting in the summer and cracking in the winter.
