In modern transportation infrastructure, asphalt remains a cornerstone material for pavement construction. with advances in technology and stricter environmental standards, the limitations of traditional asphalt have become increasingly evident. Terpene resin-modified asphalt, an emerging material, is rapidly gaining attention as a research focus in the field of road engineering.

Terpene resin, characterized by its unique chemical structure, comprises a variety of hydrocarbon compounds widely found in nature, such as petroleum and natural gas. Due to its distinctive physical and chemical properties, terpene resin has been extensively utilized in industries including rubber manufacturing, cosmetics production, and the development of novel composite materials. Its application in road engineering—specifically, the modification of asphalt—has emerged as an innovative approach in recent years.

While traditional asphalt offers excellent high-temperature stability and resistance to water damage, its poor performance under low-temperature conditions limits road durability and safety. To address this, researchers have explored incorporating terpene resin into asphalt to enhance its properties.

Studies on terpene resin-modified asphalt began in the 1980s, when scientists discovered that terpene resin forms an interpenetrating network structure with asphalt, significantly improving its overall performance. This breakthrough opened new possibilities for asphalt modification. After decades of research and practice, terpene resin-modified asphalt has achieved several key advancements.

First, the material demonstrates superior high-temperature stability and low-temperature crack resistance. Under high temperatures, it maintains proper fluidity, while its flexibility at low temperatures prevents brittle fracture. Additionally, it exhibits enhanced fatigue resistance and water damage mitigation, ensuring stable performance under harsh environmental conditions.

Second, terpene resin-modified asphalt offers economic advantages. Compared to conventional petroleum-based asphalt, terpene resin is more cost-effective, making widespread adoption feasible. Furthermore, its extended lifespan reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Third, the material boasts environmental benefits. It contains fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than traditional asphalt, minimizing ecological impact. Improved recyclability also enables more sustainable management of waste asphalt.

terpene resin-modified asphalt has proven superior in multiple dimensions. broader application requires resolving technical challenges (e.g., enhancing performance consistency) and overcoming market barriers.

Looking ahead, terpene resin-modified asphalt is poised to play a larger role in road engineering. As technology advances and markets evolve, this innovative material promises safer, more comfortable, and eco-friendlier transportation infrastructure. Researchers and engineers will continue to drive progress, contributing to the sustainable development of road networks.
