The asphalt binder was modified using polyethylene and polypropylene polymers with varying percentages of nanosilica. The Marshall stability, flow, indirect tensile strength, stiffness modulus and resistance to moisture damages test tensile strength ratio (TSR) and retained Marshall stability (RMS) tests were conducted. The results show that application of nanosilica improves the stability, reduces optimum binder content, increases stiffness as well as strength characteristic of the asphalt mixtures. Moisture damage analysis of the modified mixtures shows a good enhancement due to addition of nanosilica particles. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2018 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85039747059&doi=10.1080%2f10916466.2017.1419480&partnerID=40&md5=63628b070e0bef574e39a7107339984d id_number: 10.1080/10916466.2017.1419480 full_text_status: none publication: Petroleum Science and Technology volume: 36 number: 3 pagerange: 244-250 refereed: TRUE issn: 10916466 citation: Bala, N. and Napiah, M. and Kamaruddin, I.
