Application of nanostructuring and polymer additives for the purpose of modifying bitumen contributes to improving the basic technical characteristics of bitumen mastics. Technical amorphous carbon, epoxy resin and rosin were used as modifying additives. As a result of the study, it was found that modifying additives contribute to increasing the softening temperature, reduce the brittleness temperature, and increase the adhesive properties of bitumen to metals. Additives give bitumen mastics additional elasticity and the ability to undergo reversible deformations in an extended temperature range.
