    Several process parameters significantly influence modified asphalt properties. Key factors include the type and concentration of the modifier (e.g., polymers, rubber), mixing temperature, shear rate during blending, and the duration of mixing. Additionally, the compatibility of the modifier with the base bitumen and the specific formulation of the asphalt mix can affect performance characteristics such as viscosity, elasticity, and durability. Proper control of these parameters ensures optimal modification and enhances the overall performance of the asphalt.
