Although numerous studies have evaluated asphalt modifiers, systematic comparisons of multiple micro scale additives under an identical experimental framework remain limited. To address this gap, this study analyzed the rheological performance and microstructural characteristics of asphalt binders modified with four micro-material additives: fly ash (FA), cement (Ce), crumb rubber (Cr), and silica (Si). Particle size reduction was carried out by milling, producing micro-scale particles, which were then blended with pure asphalt pen 60\/70 (PG-64) at dosages of 1\u20133%. Performance was evaluated using conventional physical tests, rotational viscosity, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) tests, including temperature sweeps under three aging conditions: original, RTFO and PAV. Results showed that the micro material modifiers significantly affected the physical and rheological characteristics of asphalt binders, reducing penetration values, raising softening points and enhancing viscoelastic performance across aging conditions. Temperature strongly influences binder viscosity, with higher temperatures producing lower viscosity and
varying levels of temperature sensitivity among binders. The modified binders, including Cement (VCe), Fly Ash (VFA), Crumb Rubber (VCr) and Silica (VSi) exhibited increased complex modulus (G\u2217<\/sup>) and reduced phase angle (\u03b4), indicating improved stiffness, structural stability, and elastic behavior. Rheological evaluation further revealed that increasing temperature reduced rutting and fatigue performance, while modified binders generally exhibited lower fatigue parameter (G\u2217<\/sup> sin\u03b4) values than the virgin binder, indicating enhanced fatigue cracking resistance. The VCr mixture, particularly VCr-3, demonstrated the most effective improvement in long-term fatigue resistance and elastic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
