Effect of Filler on Glass Transition of Asphalt Mastics

Abstract:

A study has been carried out of the glass transition of fifteen asphalt-filler mastics in three different filler types. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method were used. The results show that DMA method can measure asphalt Tg of asphalt-filler mastics more accurately than DSC; The glass transition temperature measured by DMA is generally higher by 20~40oC than that measured by DSC; The glass transition temperature of the asphalt-filler mastics increase with the increase of the filler volume fraction, and andesite is the most sensitive; When the volume fraction of filler is greater than 0.5, the enhance capability of glass transition temperature of asphalt-filler mastics is in the order of andesite > granite > limestone; while the volume fraction of filler is smaller than 0.2, the enhance capability is in the order of granite > limestone > andesite.
