Abstract: The ever-increasing requirements for the durability and performance of road surfaces of automobile roads in general make it necessary to look for new approaches to the quality, composition, production technology, storage and laying of asphalt mixtures. The growth of traffic intensity and the increase in loads negatively affect the road surface, therefore, it is necessary to find new ways to improve its quality. It is possible to improve the quality in various ways and methods. Particular attention should be paid to the materials that are part of the asphalt mix. One of the complex components of the mixture is bitumen, which, due to its plastic properties, makes it possible to maintain the ability not to collapse the coating when exposed to both low and high temperatures, as well as various deformation loads. The way to improve the quality of bitumen is to modify it with various polymeric admixtures. The introduction of polymer admixtures will significantly improve the properties and characteristics of bitumen, will provide elasticity, cohesion, softening point and brittleness.
Keywords: bitumen, modification, modifying admixtures, asphalt concrete, polymer admixture.
