Abstract: A method of making an asphalt composition including mixing an asphalt base, a epoxy-functionalized polymer, and then a polyamine, thereby producing a final asphalt composition; and recovering said final asphalt composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a damping material, which contains from 3 to 30% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer containing at least two polymer blocks along with a bitumen and which has a dynamic loss tangent (tan .delta.) of being 0.5 or more in 10% deformation under the condition of 25.degree. C. and 1 Hz.

Abstract: Additives to tall oil pitch react to cause crosslinking which improves hardness, viscosity, tackiness, etc., properties of the modified pitch. Additives include for example maleic anhydride, wood flour, formylated melamine, phenol and other resins, diisocyanates, alcohols and the like. The modified pitch has properties improved for use as binders for briquetting adhesives, etc.

Abstract: Novel, 1,2-Epoxy Resin products using unique polycyclic, aromatic, polycarboxylic acid products as crosslinking agents display satisfactory electrical properties and good Barcol hardness values. The process for preparing these novel resin products involves admixing: a 1,2-epoxy resin containing on the average more than one 1,2-epoxy groups per molecule and the acid product derived from the nitric acid oxidation of naturally occurring solid carbonaceous material along with a suitable accelerator. The mixture is then subjected to a precure step which involves heating at temperatures between 50.degree. and 150.degree. C. for from about five minutes to about six hours. The mixture is thereafter subjected to suitable molding conditions.
