The objective of this study was to assess the impact of aging on high polymer (HP)-modified asphalt binders when compared with conventional polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) binders on the basis of rheology- and chemistry-based parameters. An extended asphalt binder aging experiment that considered multiple combinations of PMA and HP binders from different sources was conducted. Long-term oven-aged asphalt binders at multiple temperatures and durations and asphalt binders aged in a pressure aging vessel (PAV) for multiple durations were tested using the dynamic shear rheometer. Several parameters were determined including low shear viscosity and Glover-Rowe parameters at various temperatures. The PAV-aged asphalt binders were further evaluated in terms of critical low temperature difference using the bending beam rheometer. All PMA and HP combinations were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for characterization of chemical composition and assessment of polymer degradation. Overall, the measures indicated reduced susceptibility to aging of HP binders when compared with PMA binders, shown by a flatter slope with respect to oxidation with the low shear viscosity measures and Glover-Rowe parameters. In addition, the potential of polymer degradation for HP binders when compared with PMA binders was minimal with aging, thus indicating an increased longevity from a chemical-characteristic standpoint.
