Compared with base asphalt, the properties of CR/EVA modified asphalt have been greatly improved. The formulae which were fitted out by Matlab software showed that the shearing time was the foremost factor affecting the properties of CR/EVA modified asphalt, followed by shearing temperature, and the last was shearing rate.
advantages and disadvantages as asphalt modifiers. As it was shown, many different polymers are used to modify asphalts and each has their own associated physical properties. For example, ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) stiffens the asphalt, much like a hard plastic, so it is considered a plastomer. Styrene butadiene (SB) and styrene butadiene
