Modification of base bitumen using additives, modifiers are required to overcome the pavement failures like permanent deformation, bleeding, cracking and water damage and to improve the functioning of bitumen mixtures and to facilitate day by day increasing traffic loadings in changing climatic conditions etc.
In the present work four polymer modified products were prepared with varying structure, molecular weight and weight percentage of polymer. Same VG 10 bitumen was used as base bitumen for the polymer modified bitumen (PMB) products. These products were evaluated as per IS 15462-2004 specification for PMB and comparison was done between different structured, different molecular weight and different weight percentage of polymer products for PMBs performance properties. The study concludes that Radial polymer with higher molecular weight and viscosities are best among the PMBs.
