Abstract
Correction for ‘Controlled synthesis of pentachlorophenol-imprinted polymers on the surface of magnetic graphene oxide for highly selective adsorption’ by Sheng-Dong Pan et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2014, 2, 15345–15356.
The authors apologise that parts of the data presented in Fig. 1 had been inappropriately modified using Photoshop to make the images more appealing. The authors apologise for this and understand that any type of image manipulation is not acceptable.
The authors have repeated the experiments to provide replacement data for Fig. 1(b)–(f). The accuracy and integrity of the new data has been confirmed by the Director of the Ningbo Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The new figures have been reviewed by a member of the journal’s Editorial Board and are provided below in order to fulfil the journal’s responsibility to correct the scientific record, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). This correction does not alter the conclusions presented in this Journal of Materials Chemistry A paper.
This correction supersedes the information provided in the Expression of Concern related to this article.
The corrected version of Fig. 1(b)–(f) is shown below:

Fig. 1 (a) SEM image of Fe3O4 microspheres; (b) TEM image of Fe3O4 microspheres; (c–e) TEM images of core–shell structure Fe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB) with different thicknesses of polymer shell named as Fe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB)-1a, Fe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB)-2a and Fe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB)-3a, respectively; (f) TEM image of MGO@MIP. aFe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB)-1, Fe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB)-2, and Fe3O4@P(GMA-co-DVB)-3 denote core–shell magnetic polymers with a ratio of monomers (GMA + DVB, GMA![[thin space (1/6-em)]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_2009.gif) :DVB = 1:1) to Fe3O4 of 2.5, 15 and 28, respectively, used during the polymerization process. | ||
