The article presents the results of research on production polymer-bitumen binder (PBB) based mixtures non-oxidized and oxidized petroleum products, namely high-viscosity tar, darkened vacuum distillate, bitumen 70/100, obtained at technological installations Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) “JV Caspi Bitum’’ styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer brand L 30-01A modifier in presence...

The viscoelasticity of several polymers has been determined using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). For the same materials the sliding wear in multiple scratching along the same groove has also been determined. The materials studied were polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), styrene/ acrylonitrile (SAN), Surlyn, polyethersulfone (PES), acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP),...

We present a simple but efficient route to prepare a highly anisotropic conductive plastic thin film from the polypropylene/(styrene-ethylene/butadiene-styrene) triblock copolymer/graphene blend via shear-induced self-assembly. Under the shear-flow induction, GE nanosheets dispersed in the polymer matrix can spontaneously assemble into ordered parallel stripes, which endow the materials signifi...

Thermoplastic elastomer/carbon nanotube composites are studied for sensor applications due to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Piezoresisitive properties of tri-block copolymer styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)/ carbon nanotubes (CNT) prepared by solution casting have been investigated. Young modulus of the SBS/CNT composites increases with the amount of CNT filler content pr...

One of the important factors of cracks on the asphalt pavements is bitumen aging that associated with the loss of volatile components and oxidation of asphalt binder. This paper is about effect of Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) polymer on asphalt aging In order to decrease asphalt aging effects. For this purpose samples of base bitumen and SBS modified bitumen aged according to the rolling thi...
