Lin, P. (author)SBS polymer modified bitumen (SPMB) can notably improve the performance of asphalt pavement and is widely employed on the surface layer of pavements. However, SBS polymer is sensitive to ageing and its degradation evolution is difficult to be quantitatively characterized due to the overlapping of GPC chromatograms. In this research, a...abstract 2022
