Research interests of Asphalt Materials and Polymers Group at Iowa State University
Polymers Group
Research and development of biomaterials, mainly thermoplastic elastomers, from renewable resources (bio-renewable alternative to styrene-butadiene-styrene), and bio-adhesives.
Asphalt Materials Group
Research and development of bio-oil asphalt, ground tire rubber modified asphalt, bio-derived rejuvenators for recycled asphalt pavement and recycled asphalt shingles, bio-additives for warm mix asphalt for both binder and mix performance.
