Abstract
A stabilizer for bitumen-polymer compositions. Polyethylene-bitumen compositions having the polyethylene component dispersed throughout the solution and stabilized against gross phase separation are described. A method for preparation of the stabilizer includes vulcanization of a bitumen and amine-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile). Carboxylated polyethylene is coupled with the vulcanization product to obtain the stabilizer. Polyethylene dispersed in bitumen containing the stabilizer does not undergo gross phase separation and droplets in the 1 to 5 micron range are observed microscopically.
