- Abstract
-
The hazards of plastic waste (PW) from polymers (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon, polystyrene (PS), etc.), the mechanism of its spread in general, and its ubiquity in our daily lives as a continuously and/or frequently expelled product are a crisis of the twenty-first century, as reported by the United Nations in 2019, especially after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research included the process of modifying the rheological properties of asphalt to obtain asphalt suitable for use in a high-humidity atmosphere. The Iraqi climate is characterized by heat that reaches the point of harshness in the summer and coldness that falls below zero on some winter days. From this point of view, our recent study focuses mainly on making rheological and chemical modifications to asphalt using spent polymeric materials and used lubricating oils (ULO), thus achieving two important goals, namely obtaining asphalt with rheological properties resistant to the Iraqi atmosphere as well as eliminating both solid and liquid environmental pollutants. The microstructure and morphology of the designed patches were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to indicate phase composition.
