Abstract: Semi-flexible pavement was a type of pavements in good service performance and its material composition belonged to dense-skeleton structure. However, the material composition of its parent asphalt mixture was a form of skeleton-void structure. In order to achieve better volume characteristics and technical performance of parent asphalt mixture, the parent asphalt mixture design method of semi-flexible pavement based on main mineral aggregate void filling was developed. The parent asphalt mixture was studied using Marshall test and the results indicated that all volume parameters and technical performance indicators of parent asphalt mixture completely satisfied the corresponding technical requirements. The effectiveness of method of main mineral aggregate void filling to design parent asphalt mixture was verified.

Abstract: In-filled CoSb3 skutterudites (InzCo4Sb12) were prepared and the filling effects on the thermoelectric and transport properties were examined. Seebeck coefficient and Hall coefficient confirmed that all the samples showed n-type conductivity. Temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity suggested that InzCo4Sb12 is a highly degenerate semiconducting material. The thermal conductivity was considerably reduced by In filling and the lattice contribution was dominant.

Abstract: The encapsulated induction melting was attempted to prepare the Sn-filled CoSb3 skutterudites and their electronic transport properties were investigated. Single phase δ-CoSb3 was successfully obtained by the subsequent isothermal heat treatment at 823K for 6 days in vacuum. The Sn-filled CoSb3 showed p-type conductivity at 300K to 700K at it is a highly degenerate semiconductor. Lattice contribution was dominant to thermal conductivity and it was considerably reduced by Sn filling in the CoSb3 skutterudite.
