Abstract

Retraction of ‘Preparation and properties of polymer micelle-embedded nanofibrous membranes for dual-drug co-delivery and multistep release’ by Hui Zhao et al., RSC Adv., 2015, DOI: 10.1039/c5ra03345d.


We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this RSC Advances article due to inappropriate alterations made to the TEM image presented in Fig. 2. Portions of the image have been overlapped to hide debris that was visible in the original image. Further to this the authors are no longer confident that the drug release profiles shown in Fig. 6 and the SEM images presented in Fig. 8 are reliable. The authors are conducting further work to verify these results. Signed: Hui Zhao, Zhen Wei, Shuxin Xu, Minjie Tang, Liandong Deng, Jianhua Zhang, Anjie Dong, 6th August 2016. Retraction endorsed by Andrew Shore, Executive Editor, RSC Advances.
