Researchers at CIEMAT, Spain and JRC, Germany published a study exploring the potential risks of storing highly-irradiated spent nuclear fuel when the fuel oxidises. A Linkam THMS600 stage was used to accurately control the temperature under a flow of dried air.

Researchers studied fluid inclusions in quartz samples from an epithermal bonanza-type ore deposit in Mexico using Linkam’s THMSG600.
A Linkam LTS420 stage was used to vitrify aqueous solutions of MgSO₄, in order to replicate the conditions of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, to probe the potential stability of extra-terrestrial salt hydrates.

Researchers introduce a generalised approach to synthesise aerogels that allows remarkable control over its mechanical properties.
Plastics and Polymers
Researchers used Linkam’s CSS450 to replicate the mechanical properties of natural silk by creating a synthetic polymer that solidifies when subject to flow. Using temperature-controlled shear in the aqueous phase they induce polymer crystallisation, providing an alternative low-energy polymer processing route.
Researchers at Imperial College London, UK added geo-inspired double-walled nanotubes to a polymer matrix in order to improve its tensile properties.
Researchers used Linkam’s TST350, now MFS to image and measure the tensile properties of nanocomposite samples synthesised by coagulation spinning using carbon nanotubes.
