Abstract

The authors, Fabrice Cousin, Jean-Luc Putaux, and Bruno Jean, retract this article (DOI: 10.1021/acsmacrolett.8b01005) due to significant concerns regarding the integrity and reliability of the data presented. Specifically, the TEM images in the article show signs of manipulation, including the presence of repeated fragments and the use of the clone stamp tool applied with some image editing software. These issues compromise the validity of the main conclusions drawn in the study. The first author of the article, Fangbo Lin, was also contacted regarding the issue but did not reply. The original Letter was published on March 11, 2019, and retracted on February 13, 2025. This article has not yet been cited by other publications.

期刊介绍： ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science. With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
