Abstract
The interfacial behavior between asphalt binder and mineral fillers directly effects the performance of asphalt mastics or asphalt mixture. However, the understanding about the interfacial interaction between these components is very limited, although the role of individual ingredients on its performance is readily recognized. In order to study the interactions between asphalt binder and mineral fillers, it is necessary to propose an effective evaluation indicator. In this research, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to obtain the viscoelastic parameters of different asphalt binder and asphalt mastics. The interfacial interaction parameters between asphalt binder and fillers were calculated based on the viscoelastic parameters and relevant theoretical models. The interaction parameters were compared and the calculated methods were improved. The results show that compared to interfacial interaction parameters Luis Ibrarra-A and K. Ziegel-B, C value based on Palierne theoretical model had the least sensitivity to the volume fraction of fillers. The checking of fitting goodness of improved interaction parameter C value shows a high determination coefficient. It demonstrates that the C value can effectively evaluate the interfacial interaction. The interfacial interaction becomes stronger with the temperature increasing. The higher the specific surface area of filler, he stronger the interfacial interaction between it and asphalt binder.
