Description
Summary:In order to clarify the effect of thermal aging on the nano-stabilized modified asphalt binder, TINUVIN 770 (T770) hindered amine light stabilizer of nanoscale was selected as aging modifying agent to prepare modified asphalt. The impact of thermal aging on the rheological properties of T770-modified asphalt was investigated using dynamic shear rheological test of frequency sweep and multiple stress creep recovery test. The surface roughness variation of T770-modified asphalt was characterized by using atomic force microscope throughout the thermal aging process. Furthermore, the typical morphology and parameter features of T770-modified asphalt were identified. The results showed that with the extension of thermal aging time, the high temperature rutting resistance of T770-modified asphalt was improved, while the unrecoverable creep compliance was degraded. When the thermal aging time exceeded 6 h, the bee structure appeared on the surface of T770-modified asphalt. Meanwhile, with the increase in thermal aging time, the special structure formed on the surface of asphalt gradually became smaller. The surface fluctuation difference of T770-modified asphalt reflected the better thermal aging resistance property of T770-modified asphalt than 70# asphalt.
