Abstract
En 中文
To enhance the comprehensive performance of crumb rubber (CR)/SBS-composite-modified bitumen, an orthogonal experimental design was first adopted to analyze the effects of process parameters—including the addition sequence, shearing duration, shearing temperature and shearing speed—on the conventional properties of bitumen. Furthermore, based on the Box–Behnken response surface methodology, quadratic regression predictive models for the dosages of SBS, waste crumb rubber and aromatic oil were constructed, and the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method was introduced to comprehensively evaluate and multi-objectively optimize the proportioning schemes. The results indicate that a reasonable preparation process can significantly promote the uniform dispersion of modifiers, distinct non-linear interactions exist among the dosages of each modifier, and the optimal proportion balancing both high- and low-temperature performance was obtained through optimization. The constructed models exhibit good predictive accuracy, and the optimized CR/SBS-composite-modified bitumen showed excellent conventional properties and storage stability, which can provide a theoretical reference for the recycling of waste tires and the engineering application of composite-modified bitumen.
