Paper Abstract
We have applied dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) resin for reinforcing pothole patch materials due to its unique properties –
low cost, low viscosity at beginning and ultra-toughness after curing, chemical compatibility with tar, tunable curing
profile through catalyst design. In this paper, we have designed a two layer structure – well compacted base layer and
DCPD reinforced 1-1.5" top layer – for pothole repair. By choosing two graded asphalt mixes, a porous top layer and
fully compacted base layer was prepared after compaction and ready for DCPD resin infiltration. The DCPD curing and
infiltration profile within this porous top layer was measured with thermocouples. The rutting resistance was tested with home-made wheel rutter. The cage effect due to the p-DCPD wrapping was characterized with wheel penetration test. The results showed that this two layer structure pothole repair has greatly improved properties and can be used for pothole repair to increase the service life.
