Abstract

The interest in utilization of renewable resources like vegetable oils in the modification of asphalt binders has been increasing for last few years. This study aims to evaluate the sunflower oil (SO) compatibility with three types of asphalt binders for its future application in pavement and building construction. The chemical changes, aging behavior and mixing uniformity of binders due to addition of SO were studied through storage stability and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The potential of SO modification in binders was assessed by using rotational viscometer, dynamic shear rheometer and bending beam rheometer tests. The Superpave, Glover-Rowe diagram and master curve were used for different tests analysis. FTIR results revealed the induction of new peaks of esterification at 1163 cm−1 and 1745 cm−1 in binders mixed with SO. The SO modified binders showed antiaging behavior which may be due to the presence of α-tocopherol in SO. It was observed that use of SO in binders improved fatigue parameter up to 58%. The linear amplitude sweep test results showed that the addition of SO increased the fatigue life of asphalt binders. The sunflower oil as an additive in asphalt binders will be a sustainable and durable material in pavement and building constructions.
