Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 4, January 20, 2026.Effects and Mechanisms of Different RPE/RPP Ratios on the Properties of Modified Asphalt. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene (RPE) and recycled polypropylene (RPP) are the most abundant types of plastic waste. Developing novel base asphalt modifiers (additives used to enhance the properties of asphalt) by blending RPE and RPP in different ratios is of ...

Using recycled asphalt materials as an alternative material source in asphalt pavements
KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2014 Using recycled materials in pavement applications is a viable option to reduce costs and limit the environmental impact of road construction. During the past decades, many agencies in the U.S. have investigated the effect on pavement performance of adding Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), and, more recently, Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) to asphalt ...
