Other potential applications of PNCs include layered clays in elastomers for asphalt modification [263] and for tire applications (low air permeability) [264], and layered clay nanocomposites with epoxy [265], unsaturated polyesters [266], vinyl esters [267], and polyurethanes [268] for coatings and composites. 

Asphalt binder is a thermoplastic material that behaves as an elastic solid at low service temperatures or during rapid loading and as a viscous liquid at high temperatures or slow loading. This double behavior creates a need to improve the performance of the asphalt binder to minimize stress cracking, which occurs at low temperatures, and permanent deformation, which occurs at high service temperatures addition of crumb rubber to sulfur asphalt enhanced the temperature resistance of the binder. Utilization of waste crumb rubber and sulfur in asphalt modification proved to enhance asphalt pavement [129].

Tapered butadiene-styrene copol5miers are important commercial materials because of their outstanding extrusion characteristics, low water absorption, good abrasion resistance, and good electrical properties. Tapered block copolymers are used for wire insulation and shoe soles (after vulcanization) as well as for asphalt modification (179). 

Latex-modified asphalt and bitumen represent other elasticizers. Latex modification not only reduces stress cracking but also provides adhesion for rocks and chip asphalt fillers. The adhesion prevents chips from flying out of the asphalt on highways and breaking windshields. Many states in the United States require latex-modified asphalt in road construction. All classes of latexes can be used in concrete and asphalt modification.

Besides being used by the rubber industry, a larger amount of SBC is also used in adhesives and sealants, in asphalt modification for road construction, and by the shoe industry. 

Aromatic oil is used in asphalt modification, in waterproofing and sealant compounding, and in adhesives. It can also be further processed into fuel oil as well. 

The combination of high cydic content, low branching, and tram unsaturation imparts Vestenamer with an unusual combination of properties compared to other elastomeric materials. The high tram content causes it to be semicrystalline in the solid state. The mixture of cydic and linear polymer chains results in relatively low-melt viscosity that makes Vestenamer useful for certain applications such as asphalt modification. 

Paper industry, paints and coatings, adhesive and sealants, and carpet industry cover approximately 80% of the latexes. Other industrial applications where latexes are directly applied are printing inks, automotive coatings, nonwoven fabrics, leather industry, and asphalt modification to name a few. 

At the 4th Rubber Modified Asphalt Conference held in Akron, OH, USA in 2009, a wide-ranging paper was presented by Baumgartner [54] that addressed topics such as modified asphalt formulations, optimisation of the process temperature, and the ground tyre rubber loadings and particle size optimisation. The paper showed that rubber crumb produced from whole tyres contains around 30% reactive material for asphalt modification and that the asphalt source and chemistry directly influence the rubber loading and the final properties of the product. The processing time and temperature are also very important, as is the particle size of the crumb, which affects the efficiency of modification and the long-term performance. 

The use of polymer modified asphalts for hot mix and asphalt emulsions has grown significantly in the US during the last 10 years. The National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) has published a list of reasons for the use of asphalt modification [3, 4]. Asphalt has been modified to ...
