Abstract

Correction for ‘Study on a hydrophobic Ti-doped hydroxyapatite coating for corrosion protection of a titanium based alloy‘ by M. A. Surmeneva et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 87665–87674.


The authors wish to correct and clarify the presentation of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. In the original article, the captions and text discussion of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are correct, however, the images presented were swapped around and so were incorrectly associated with the wrong figure captions.

Therefore, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 and their respective captions are now correctly presented here to clarify this matter. The text discussion of the original article is correct in light of this clarification.
