Influence of PPA on the Short-Term Antiaging Performance of Asphalt by Lining Gao, Nana Cai, Xiaohong Fu, Rui He, Honggang Zhang, Jiayin Zhou, Dongliang Kuang, Shaowen Liu

“…The results showed that after PPA addition, the high-temperature resistance and the thermal stability of asphalt were improved and the temperature sensitivity was weakened. Both curves of ductility and G∗ indicate the potential saturation effect of PPA addition; together with infrared spectroscopy, we proved that there are both chemical reactions and physical mixing in the PPA-modified asphalt. …”
