Abstract

Expression of concern for ‘Bacterial infection microenvironment-responsive enzymatically degradable multilayer films for multifunctional antibacterial properties’ by Qingqing Yao et al., J. Mater. Chem. B, 2017, 5, 8532–8541, https://doi.org/10.1039/C7TB02114C.


Journal of Materials Chemistry B is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert our readers that we are presently unable to confirm the reliability of the data presented in the article.

The Royal Society of Chemistry became aware of concerns about the reliability of the data presented in Fig. 7, 9 and 10 of the paper.

The Royal Society of Chemistry has asked the affiliated institution, Wenzhou Medical University, to investigate this matter and confirm the integrity and reliability of the data in Fig. 7, 9 and 10 of the paper. An expression of concern will continue to be associated with this manuscript until we receive information from the institution on this matter.
