Colloid Polym Sci 281 (2003) 203-213. Blends of an asphalt with SBS are studied by progressive addition of one or two polystyrene and poly(cis-butadiene) homopolymers. The results support the idea of a network, created by the polystyrene-rich spherical microphases, which remain effective even when the polystyrene microphases have melted. Moreover, in particular conditions, the presence of mesophase based on polybutadiene and asphaltenes is considered.
