Maintaining the storage stability of polymer-modified asphalt is crucial to its optimal performance. The phase separation in styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) -modified asphalt during high-temperature storage has not been solved due to the lack of fundamental understanding of intermolecular interactio...
