| Abstract | The modification of bitumen using polymers has reached its limits due to rutting and cracking problems under severetemperatures. Yet, there are few studies on bitumen blends using multiple materials. This research investigated the effects ofMultiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) in a ternary mixture (Agbabu bitumen (ANB) - polypropylene (PP) MWCNT) andoptimized the functional formulation. Certain properties of ANB, such as the loss in ductility, flash, fire, penetration, andsoftening points were improved by blending MWCNT (0.1 1.21 g), PP (0.15 4.05 g) and ANB (94.79 99.75 g). Theimprovements were by 43.27, 43.76, 78.41 and 2.80% for flash, fire, penetration, and softening points with the optimal blend of97.92, 0.1 and 1.98 g of ANB, MWCNT, and PP, respectively. This large improvement in composite properties is superior to thepolymeric binary systems, and concordant with ASTM and BS standard requirements. |
