Development of NOMAD-based plugins for FAIR-oriented “digitalization” of materials characterization and fabrication processes within the iEntrance distributed infrastructure. A case study.

To bring together the diverse and heterogeneous data formats generated in the field—data that lie at the heart of Materials Science digitalization—it is essential to establish a comprehensive data-management strategy. The FAIR data-management principles offer a viable solution to this challenge. Several platforms and infrastructures have been developed and implemented to support FAIR-compliant handling of Materials Science data. This work presents an example of such an approach applied to a case study involving the synthesis, characterization, and optimization of polymer-based nanoparticles produced through spray-drying techniques.
