Abstract

Recently, much attention has focused on the permanent deformation of roads in hot summer and cracks in cold winter, which are detrimental to safe driving. This leads to necessity of modification of asphalt to resist those deformation. In this study, a type of modified asphalt was prepared by addition of a photoinitiator which is activated by ultraviolet lay. The mechanical and rheololgical properties of photoinitiator-modified asphalt were examined using UTM and rheometer. Results showed that the modified asphalt was effected by ultraviolet and thus tensile strength and storage modulus increased, due to molecular attraction, with initiator content and irradiation dose. Thermal analysis showed less weight loss upon photoinitiator-modification and this indicated that the molecular attraction is the result of cross linking reaction between asphalt molecules induced by photoinitiator. According to long term ultraviolet curing test, properties of the photoinitiator-modified asphalt did not decrease or even increase for 20 years. This indicates that useful life of the asphalt could be extended by addition of photoinitiator.

여름철 아스팔트의 표면 온도 상승으로 인한 도로의 소성변형과 겨울철 온도 강하로 인한 도로균열이 도로안전운전을 위협하는 문제로 등장하면서 아스팔트 물성향상을 위한 아스팔트개질의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소성변형 저항성을 증가시키기 위해 소성변형의 직접적인 원인인 햇빛을 이용하기 위해, 고분자중합에 사용되는 광개시제를 사용하여 개질아스팔트를 제조하였다. 인장시험기와 레오미터를 이용하여 기계적 물성과 유변적 물성을 실험한 결과 개질아스팔트는 자외선에 의한 분자간 결합으로 인해 인장강도와 저장탄성률이 크게 증가하였다. 열분석에서는 온도에 따른 잔류 무게 분율이 증가하는 거동을 보여 분자간 결합이 가교반응의 결과임을 나타내었다. 장시간 자외선조사 시험에서는 조사시간이 길어짐에 따라 그 물성이 증가되거나 유지되는 거동을 보임으로써 사용수명이 연장될 수 있는 효과를 나타내었다.
