The objective of the research program was to modify asphalts by chemical means to produce asphalts which will have the potential for reducing both rutting and cracking when used in asphalt pavement construction. These asphalts would have a reduced stiffness at low temperatures and an adequate stiffness at high temperature. These changes in properties would be accomplished by decreasing the asphalts' temperature susceptibility. Secondary aims are to produce asphalts with improved adhesion to aggregates.
