Evaluation of permanent deformation characteristics of unmodified and Polyethylene Terephthalate modified asphalt mixtures using dynamic creep test (2014, background): “That is to say, with regards to the mixing temperature which is around 160 C, and is over the glass transition temperature of PET (75 C) the amorphous region of PET would be changed to liquid form; however, a crystalline region would still exist as solid part due to the high melting point of PET whi”
A review of using waste and virgin polymer in pavement (2012, background): “Plastomers include polyethylene and various compounds based on polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate [57–60].”
Recycling of plastic solid waste: A state of art review and future applications (2017, background): “Work has also been proposed on using plastic bottles as reinforcement in stone mastic asphalt [5].”
Dynamic properties of stone mastic asphalt mixtures containing waste plastic bottles (2012, background): “In fact because of high melting point of PET (approximately 250 C) the PET particles do not melt during mix fabrication which is around 160 C, so during the mix fabrication and after heating PET properties change more or less into crystal properties [17].”
