Monitoring Separation Tendency of Partial Asphalt Replacement by Crumb Rubber Modifier and Guayule Resin
Abstract
Guayule resin was utilized as a partial asphalt replacer for sustainable, flexible pavement. This research aimed to study the effect of such an innovative replacer on asphalt-rubber separation tendency. The replacement denoted 25–75% triggering a binder competitive with conventional asphalt. Upon Stoke’s law, viscosity variation between asphalt and guayule was dominant, which affected the rubber particle sedimentation. A binder of 62.5% asphalt, 12.5% rubber, and 25% guayule provided better rheological behavior than that of conventional asphalt at elevated temperatures. Such a binder showed almost no liquid phase separation but poor storage stability in the whole matrix, after lab-simulated storage.
