Graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) added styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt suffers from serious compatibility and agglomeration problems. To tackle these problems, in this study, graphene oxide (GO) was mixed with bromobutane to synthesize butylated graphene oxide (C4H9-GO) composite, which was in turn compounded with SBS for the preparation of C4H9-GO/SBS-modified asphalt. C4H9-GO/SBS-1.0-modified asphalt exhibited the best performance in terms of 11.4% increased softening point, 19.3% increased ductility, and 10.2% reduction in penetration as compared to 5% SBS-modified asphalt. Dynamic shear rheometer and multistress creep recovery tests showed that at 1.0% C4H9-GO contents, C4H9-GO/SBS composite-modified asphalt exhibited the best high-temperature performance and low stress sensitivity. Microscopic characterization of C4H9-GO via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy revealed successful bonding between-C4H9 and GO, increasing interlayer spacing in GO. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis showed the superior elasticity of C4H9-GO than GNPs. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis indicated that C4H9-GO sheets can be stabilized by SBS through pi-pi stacking with the polystyrene chains. This study awarded to the preparation of novel C4H9-GO/SBS-modified asphalt with superior mechanical property can be deemed of potential value and applications in construction and highway industries.
