19、s a method for visualisation of the polymer distribution in polymer modified bitumen by fluorescent microscopy. The method is applicable for most of the commercially used polymers, but before the method is used it should be examined whether the test is applicable for the actual polymer. The method s
20、hould only be used for identification purposes, i.e. in connection with production control. NOTE Sample preparation and treatment have an important influence on the test results and it is essential to follow strictly the method described to achieve comparable results. WARNING The use of this Europea
21、n Standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determi

EN 58, Bitumen and bituminous binders Sampling bituminous binders EN 12594, Bitumen and bituminous binders Preparation of test samples 3 Principle A sample of polymer modified bitumen is homogenised by gentle stirring and poured into a preheated mould. After a cont
24、rolled cooling procedure to ambient temperature the sample is cooled below 20 C for a minimum period of time. The bitumen layer is broken into small pieces and the freshly broken surface is viewed through a microscope with a magnification of 25 times to 500 times. The views can be stored photographi
25、cally or electronically. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Epifluorescence microscope, (incident light excitation) with an appropriate light source and filter systems. NOTE Examples of light source and filter system are given in Annex A. 4.2 Freezer or solid carbon dioxide. 4.3 Sharp tool. Scissors shall not be used.

Homogenise the sample by gentle hand stirring for at least 1 min and not more than 5 min. Pour the material
28、 into the aluminium basin placed in a sand bath (4.7) preheated to the same temperature as the sample during homogenising. The sand bath is an evaporating basin (4.5) containing sand (4.6). The aluminium basin (4.4) shall be totally surrounded by the sand and there shall be 20 mm of sand between the
29、 bottom of aluminium basin and the evaporating basin. The sample is cooled to ambient temperature by switching off the heating of the sand bath. After cooling to ambient temperature, cool the sample to 20 C or lower if the sample needs to become brittle. Using a freezer (4.2), a cooling time of 3 h
30、minimum is required; using solid carbon dioxide (4.2) in a dewar, 10 min is sufficient. NOTE The cooling procedure can be essential for the morphology. By cooling in the sand bath, a steady cooling rate is assured. 6 Procedure Prepare small pieces of the frozen material by breaking or cutting with a
31、ppropriate sharp tool (4.3). This preparation shall be done rapidly to avoid warming the sample. Inspect the freshly broken or cut surface within 1 h. The inspection can be done through a protecting glass or directly on the surface. Using a protecting glass turn the freshly broken surface towards a
32、microscope cover glass and arrange for the freshly broken or cut surfaces to stick to this without disturbing the surface by moving. Turn the cover glass over and place it on the hole of the rigid support such that a perfectly horizontal and flat surface is observed through the glass. Select the mag
33、nification according to the particle size and distribution; magnifications of 25 to 500 are suitable. Analyse each polymer modified bitumen on a minimum of 3 independently prepared surfaces scanning the entire surface before collecting the typical picture. Provide a reference scale with the picture.
34、 NOTE The picture can be obtained and stored by photographic or electronic systems. 7 Expression of results Express the binder morphology either as a picture, a picture number (according to Annex A) or a combination of the characterisation letters shown in Annex A. Intermediate numbers are not allow
35、ed. If no fluorescent emission can be detected and the sample appears all black, note this as O. NOTE Numbers are used as a simple tool for comparing pictures and neither assessing the quality, nor the performance of the binder. 8 Test report The test report shall contain at least the following info
36、rmation: a) type and complete identification of the sample under test; b) reference to this European Standard; Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 12/01/2011 05:55, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 13632:2010 EN 13632:2010 (E) 6 c) light source and filter system; d) present the pic
37、ture with a reference scale and if required a combination of the characterisation letters given in Annex A (see Clause 7); e) any deviation, by agreement or otherwise, from the procedure specified; f) date of the test.

The modification of bitu
39、men with polymers can reach two principal phases. In the first case, the polymer is more or less dispersed in the bitumen matrix. Depending on the chemical composition of the materials, their compatibility and the input of dispersing energy as well as factors like molecular weight and polarity, the
40、system remains homogenous over a certain period of time. The level of distribution of the polymer phase has an important influence on the physical properties of the binder system. In the second case, the polymer phase becomes the continuous phase in which the bitumen is more or less finely dispersed
41、, acting as a plasticiser or extender. Here the distribution of the bitumen in the polymer phase is of importance for the physical properties of the system. Beside the two principal cases, there are blends existing where phase inversion starts and both systems are visible at the same time. This phen
42、omenon is also dependent on temperature and time. A way to assess the homogeneity of a blend is to view it under a fluorescence microscope when illuminated by UV light: most of the polymers produce a yellow fluorescence while the bitumen remains dark. The particle size or distribution can be assesse
43、d under different magnifications. Special preparations are necessary to obtain a proper picture. The best way seems to be to cool the sample to a temperature of at least 20 C. Small pieces of the material are then broken or cut off, warmed up to ambient temperature and placed under the microscope fo
44、r examination of the freshly broken surface. The distribution of the polymer phase or bitumen can be assessed by measuring the particle size distribution or by comparison with standard pictures. If no structure is visible but a fine, homogeneous, slightly yellow light is detected, the product should
45、 be called homogeneous. Compatibility, stability and compliance can all be assessed by epifluorescence microscopy. It should be noted that fluorescence microscopy is not able to give a final quality assessment or indication of the binder performance. It provides important information for understandi
46、ng of the system and parameters which might have an influence on the final quality. A.2 Light source and filter system Example of light source and filter system: Light source: High pressure Xenon lamp, 75 W Excitation filter: BP 420/490 (transmit wavelengths from 420 nm 490 nm) Beam splitter filter:
47、 RKP 510 (reflects wavelengths shorter than 510 nm and transmits light of longer wavelengths) Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 12/01/2011 05:55, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN 13632:2010 EN 13632:2010 (E) 8 Barrier filter: LP 515 (transmits wavelengths longer than 515 nm) From
48、 the light source the light falls on the excitation filter, which transmits light from 420 nm to 490 nm. Light with this wavelength falls then on the surface of the specimen. Unabsorbed exciting light and emitted light is then reflected to the chromatic beam splitter filter, which reflects light sho
49、rter than 510 nm and transmits light of longer wavelength. According to Stokes Law emitted light will have a longer wavelength than its exciting light, hence the beam splitter filter effectively reflects exciting light and transmits emitted light, in this way separating the two. To eliminate any residual exciting light, the emitted/transmitted light with wavelength longer than 510 nm finally falls on the barrier filter, which has a high transmission for wavelengths longer than 515 nm.
