Description
Composition TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention is directed towards a cementitious copolymer composition and a method for it use in the construction or repair of roads. BACKGROUND ART [0002] The following discussion of the background art is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention only. The discussion is not an acknowledgement or admission that any of the material referred to is or was part of the common general knowledge as at the priority date of the application. [0003] Typically, road compositions are prepared from aggregate compositions of asphalt (bitumen) and rock, wherein the asphalt is utilised as a binder in order to create a hardened product which is laid over a rock or cement foundation. Asphalt pavement material is commonly composed of 5% asphalt cement and 95% aggregates (stone, sand, and gravel). Due to its highly viscous nature, asphalt cement must be heated so it can be mixed with the aggregates and spread across the intended surface. [0004] For driver safety, the asphalt compositions must meet certain performance criteria or specifications in order to be considered useful for road paving. To ensure acceptable performance there are minimum standards set up by government organisations which a composition must adhere to in order to be allowed to be used as road pavement. These minimum specifications relate to properties such as viscosity, toughness, tenacity and ductility. [0005] If these specifications are not met, damage to the resulting road can occur, including permanent deformation, cracking and flexural fatigue. This damage greatly reduces the effective life of paved roads and ultimately driver safety. [0006] Of the above issue, the cracking of the road surface is over the greatest concern. If proper drainage protocols are not in place, the cracks allow for moisture intrusion through the surface of the road and spread throughout the underlying aggregate material. The moisture will then sodden the material and over time, will break the asphalt / aggregate bond, damaging the integrity of the pavement material, causing the pavement to disintegrate. This then requires entire sections of the road to be dug up and new road be placed down. [0007] Previously, it has been demonstrated that the properties of conventional asphalt compositions can be improved by the addition of other substances, such as polymers. A wide variety of polymers have been employed in asphalt compositions. For example, polymers derived from styrene and conjugated dienes are particularly useful, as these polymers have good solubility in asphalt compositions and the resulting modified compositions have improved physical properties. [0008] U.S. Pat. No. 4,145,322, discloses a process for preparing a bitumen-polymer composition consisting of mixing a bitumen, with a block copolymer, having an average molecular weight between 30,000 and 300,000. The colpolymer has the theoretical formula SxBy, in which S corresponds to styrene structure groups and B corresponds to conjugated diene structure groups, and x and y are integers. The resulting bitumen polymer composition is used for road-coating, industrial coating, or other industrial applications. Whilst it remains that the majority of the physical properties of the resulting road composition are increased, they remain un-useful for the purposes of road compositions, mainly due to increased viscosity of the resulting product, where separation of the asphalt and polymer may occur. [0009] Another concern of the use of asphalt compositions concerns the use of volatile solvents in such compositions. Specifically, environmental concerns restrict the use of volatile solvents in such compositions. Moreover, the use of large amounts of volatile solvents in bitumen compositions may lower the viscosity of the resulting composition so that it no longer meets viscosity specifications designated for road paving applications. Additionally, the reduction of other emissions during asphalt applications becomes a target. For example, the reduction of the amount of sulfur compounds that are emitted during asphalt applications is of primary concern. These emissions are compounded by the fact that the asphalt is required to be heated substantially during the application process. [0010] The present invention seeks to overcome, or at least ameliorate, one or more of the deficiencies of the prior art mentioned above, or to provide the consumer with a useful or commercial choice.
[0011] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention described herein is susceptible to variations and modifications other than those specifically described. The invention includes all such variation and modifications. The invention also includes all of the steps, features, formulations and compounds referred to or indicated in the specification, individually or collectively and any and all combinations or any two or more of the steps or features.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Physical Characteristics of Components [0043] In order for a composition to be utilised for the construction of roads its physical properties must adhere to a set of standard prerequisites. [0044] The applicants have discovered a new cementitious copolymer composition which, when applied to an appropriate substrate surface will be highly flexible, water resistant and non-rigid, whilst have a high tensile strength, load bearing and impact resistance. [0045] Advantageously, due to its composition, the composition of the present invention also remains highly water resistant. This prevents moisture water permeating through to the road substrate. This prevents the previously described breakdown of asphalt roads, a common cause of road failures.
Co-polymers [0046] Vinyl acetate + ethylene (VAE) dispersions are copolymers produced through dispersion polymerization of hard polar monomer vinyl acetate and soft hydrophobic monomer ethylene. An optimal plasticizing monomer for vinyl acetate/ethylene functions as an internal plasticizer, which gives internal plasticity to VAE polymers, prevents plasticizer migration, and ensures lasting flexibility for VAE polymers. VAE copolymers are characterized by high rotation freedom, low spatial hindrance, high backbone flexibility, stable structure, a certain degree of water resistance and a desirable degree of resistance to acids and alkalis. The molecular chains of these copolymers are capable of maintaining stable properties in dilute acid and alkali conditions, by adjusting the polymer structure's copolymer component ratio, i.e. the ratio of vinyl acetate, ethylene or special functional monomers, to develop high-performance dispersions. Examples [0047] Aspects of the present invention will now be illustrated with reference to a series of experimental examples. The description of the examples should not be understood to be limiting the generality of the preceding description of the invention. For the purposes of comparison, the experimental examples include reference to compositions outside the scope of the present invention.
