  • Patent number: 5883162
    Abstract: Functionalized elastomer/bitumen compositions with a broad plasticity range are produced by contacting a bitumen or bitumen mixture with an elastomer, a functionalizing agent and optionally a peroxide compound at 100.degree.-230.degree. C. under stirring conditions. The funtionalizing agent is a thiolcarboxylic acid having 3 or more carbon atoms, a thiolcarboxylic acid ester and specifically a disulphide having carboxylic groupings or carboxylic esters.
