Abstract

Expression of concern for ‘Influence of chemical composition on the amount of second phases precipitates and transformation temperatures of TiNiPdCu shape memory alloys prepared through novel powder metallurgy route’ by Abid Hussain et al., RSC Adv., 2023, 13, 29376–29392, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3RA05513B.


The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the SEM images in Fig. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. An investigation is underway, and an Expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.

In addition, the name of the second author was spelt incorrectly in the original article, and this notice provides the correct spelling.
