ABSTRACT
This paper is focused on the verification of functionality and overall technical applicability potential of newly developed chemical additives, which use the principle of nanotechnology techniques and poly-condensed amines. The aim of these additives is to improve adhesion between bitumen and aggregate particles whereas the later target is (not followed by the research done) to introduce such additives to the market. The verification of adhesion behavior of bitumen doped by these additives was performed on three different types of aggregates (granite porphyry, granodiorite and mixed rock) which are normally available and used by the road construction industry in the Czech Republic—they are used for asphalt mix production. These aggregate types represent different mineralogical-petro-graphic composition and therefore they have different level of hydrophility. The adhesion can be directly determined by various test methods, which are represented by standards and procedures worldwide.
