CHARISMA has a strong impact in several different technological and scientific areas, including (but not limited to): producers of spectroscopy systems, industrial users of Raman spectroscopy, future of applications of Raman-active materials, scientific research in physics, chemistry, materials science and biomedicine. In addition, it will strongly promote the business of the industrial partners of the consortium in the areas of nanocatalysts, document security and active packaging for food.
The experiment-free Raman spectra obtained in WP2 set the ground for peak assignment based on physico-chemical equations. This will have an impact, besides the scientific knowledge, in validating the use of spectral peaks for different purposes.
The activies of WP3 have an already noticeable impact within the Raman community. Our efforts towards the harmonization has mobilized asociations like VAMAS and ASTM to start the review process of their protocols and standards; our interlaboraty study will be the seed of near future changes based on our CWAs.
WP4 activities also have a significant impact in the field of Raman spectroscopy by advancing the calibration of Raman devices through the development of innovative algorithms.
The FAIR Raman database at
https://spectra.adma.ai(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie) is searchable spectra database with a REST API, implemented using only open-source tools. This database ensures findability through metadata annotation, free-text search, and efficient spectra similarity search and is fully compatible with the eNanoMapper database and NanoSafety Data Interface, facilitating adoption by diverse communities that rely on Raman spectroscopy for analytical purposes.
FNMT will provide for different users new feature options better in price, and the users will be free to purchase the detection equipment according to their specific use, as forensic or portable equipment for simple pass/fail functions. Encapsulae will commercialise new sustainable pigments with whitening and opacifying properties that use up to 75% less TiO2 than state-of-the-art pigments, based on improved dispersion of the TiO2 particles, which is controlled by Raman spectroscopy.
Standardization activities under WP7 enhanced the impact of CHARISMA . the publication of CWA 18133:2024 and CWA 18134:2024 based in CHARISMA results provides an additional and powerful impact tool.
The communication, dissemination and exploitation activities within the CHARISMA project via WP8 have yielded substantial positive impacts.
