Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A commonly used method to improve the viscślastic properties of road bitumens is polymer modification with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). New binder modifiers are being searched for to provide a technically and economically justified alternative. A recent method of modification, which has been in use for over 15 years (mainly in the U.S.), is based on addition of polyphosphoric acid (PPA). The effect of modification with polyphosphoric acid is similar to that of oxidation, i.e. it increases the binder stiffness yet without compromising its low-temperature performance. The effect of modification with polyphosphoric acid has not been so far comprehensively tested in Poland. According to various reports from research projects carried out in different countries improvement of binder properties and durability of asphalt mixtures largely depends on the type of pure bitumen used. This paper describes the effect of PPA modifier on the rheological properties of a bitumen obtained from a Polish refinery.
