46 In the 1970s, researchers recognized that the addition of 111
47 polymers could improve some performance of the modified 112
48 asphalt, such as enhance permanent deformation resistance, 113

49 Thermoelectric conversion device is based on the seebeck 114
50 effect. One side is connected to the P-type and N-type (P-type 115
51 is hole-rich material, N-type is electron-rich material) to form 116
52 a PN junction, and it is placed in a high-temperature state. The 117

type (hole) material and N-type (electron) material at the high-
55 120
temperature side of PN material is higher than that at the low-
56 121
