Plastic Bitumen Durability Analysis
Budget: $3 – $10 NZD
I’m investigating how recycled plastic can enhance bitumen and need a concise, research-oriented study that zeroes in on material properties—specifically durability and lifespan.
Here’s what I’m after:
• Brief literature scan summarising current findings on plastic-modified bitumen.
• Outline of simple lab tests (or a clearly reasoned data-analysis approach if you already have datasets) to gauge long-term performance.
• Short report interpreting results, highlighting whether and why the plastic addition improves durability over standard mixes.
Keep the scope lean: no full-scale performance trials—just the essentials that let us confirm viability and flag next steps. Experience with asphalt materials, polymer modification, or civil materials research is ideal.
