Preparation of binary and ternary bituminous composites with MDI and Cloisite 20A®
C20A® clay addition improves thermo-mechanical stability of the resulting composite.
MDI addition and low shear stirring structurally destabilize the composites.
Preferential reactivity of MDI with reactive groups in C20A over those in bitumen
The order of addition of C20A and MDI radically changes the LVE response.
