摘要
The use of waste polyethylene (WPE) in modified asphalt is frequently employed to reduce environmental pollution and improve asphalt properties. However, research has shown that using WPE alone as a modifier does not effectively enhance the low-temperature flexibility of asphalt. This study aims to investigate the potential of utilizing WPE and waste cooking oil (WCO) as composite modifiers to enhance the properties of virgin asphalt under both high and low-temperature conditions. The contents of WPE and WCO were used, and the preparation process for the modified asphalt was optimized through an orthogonal experiment. The experimental results indicate that the optimal formulation for the WPE/WCO composite modified asphalt (WPE/WCO-A) is obtained with an additive dosage of 8% and 1% by mass of virgin asphalt for WPE and WCO, respectively, as well as the maintenance process at a temperature of 140 °C and a duration of 2 h. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) results reveal that WPE/WCO composite modifier can greatly improve the high-temperature deformation resistance of asphalt. Bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests confirm that WPE adversely affects the low-temperature flexibility of asphalt, while the addition of WCO can improve it. WPE/WCO-A has even better low-temperature properties than virgin asphalt (VA). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results suggest that the composite modification of asphalt by WPE/WCO modifiers is dominated by physical action. Furthermore, the fluorescence microscopy test results demonstrate that WCO can promote WPE swelling in asphalt. This study offers a novel approach to improve the comprehensive properties of asphalt through composite modification using WPE and WCO. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
