Copolymerization of Styrene with Methacrylates in Petroleum Bitumen and Properties of Resulting Composites

Аннотация

Copolymerization of styrene with methyl or butylmethacrylates in road petroleum bitumen is studied. The copolymerization of the comonomers selected proceeds in the bituminous medium according to the same laws as in the mass and depends on concentration of the methacrylates. Polymer–bitumen composites, which can be potentially used as structural polymeric materials, have been obtained and studied.
