Modern road construction uses a large number of polymer-based materials. Material composition depends on their roles. Among the most important functions of road body materials is to transfer all loads safely to the subgrade. A thorough understanding of material properties in various climates is crucial for this purpose. In the automotive industry, polymer residues from recycling can be used to make innovative materials, such as STERED, a hybrid polymer composite. Drawing on the porous nature of this material, this paper investigates its mechanical behavior. For road construction, the compressive properties of the material are most important. The paper presents the results of a detailed analysis and experimental research of the STERED material from in-lab tests. Successful research will lead to the inclusion of the material in road body compositions with excellent retention properties, vibration damping, and potential in circular economy.
现代道路建设使用大量基于聚合物的材料。材料组成取决于它们的作用。道路主体材料最重要的功能之一是将所有荷载安全地传递到路基。为此，全面了解各种气候条件下的材料特性至关重要。在汽车行业，回收利用产生的聚合物残渣可用于制造创新材料，如STERED这种混合聚合物复合材料。基于这种材料的多孔性质，本文研究了其力学行为。对于道路建设而言，该材料的压缩性能最为重要。本文展示了通过实验室测试对STERED材料进行详细分析和实验研究的结果。成功的研究将促使该材料被纳入具有优异保留性能、减振性能以及循环经济潜力的道路主体组合物中。
