Effect of epoxy value on the rheological properties and microcosmic mechanism of WER emulsified asphalt.

ABSTRACT: Waterborne epoxy resin (WER), a cleaning material with exceptional high-temperature resistance, has attracted much attention to modify emulsified asphalt in the pavement material field. Epoxy value is the critical characteristic index of WER. In this research, three WER with the epoxy values of 0.20 eq/100g, 0.44 eq/100g, and 0.51 eq/100g were utilized as asphalt modifiers. The influence of epoxy value on WER-EA was investigated by comparing the rheological properties of three kinds of WER emulsified asphalt (WER-EA). The modification mechanism of WER-EA has been analyzed using FTIR and SEM. The results demonstrate that different WER-EA resulted in significantly different rheological properties. WER-EA with the epoxy value of 0.20 eq/100g (E20) performed best at high temperatures, with a m
