Wax-based warm mix additives can decrease the viscosity and improve the workability of crumb rubber (CR)-modified asphalt, but the mechanism of influence on the aging performance of CR-modified asphalt is not clear. To investigate the thermal aging behavior and mechanism of wax-based warm mix CR-modified asphalt, polyethylene wax (PEW) and polyamide wax (PAW) were mixed to prepare warm mix CR-modified asphalt. The effect of thermal aging on the rheological and mechanical properties was characterized by a basic property test, frequency sweep test, and multiple stress creep recovery test. The chemical composition changes during aging were then analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. Finally, the phase morphology during thermal aging was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The results showed that compared with the degradation of CR, the oxidative aging of the asphalt binder played a dominant role in the process. Not only did PEW and PAW attach to the asphalt surface in the form of crystallization to prevent its reaction with oxygen but they also promoted the dissolution of CR, and released polymerization chains, thereby enhancing the antiaging properties of CR-modified asphalt. Furthermore, the antiaging of PAW/CR-modified asphalt was better than that of PEW/CR-modified asphalt, because the amide group of PAW reacted with CR-modified asphalt to form a polymer structure. |
