RETRACTION: Thermoreversible Structurally Recoverable Dual-Network Elastomer Hydrogel

“Thermoreversible Structurally Recoverable Dual-Network Elastomer Hydrogel,” Macromolecular Materials and Engineering 305, no. 1 (2020): 1900633, https://doi.org/10.1002/mame.201900633.

The above article, published online on 03 December 2019 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, David Huesmann; and Wiley-VCH GmbH. The retraction has been agreed after an investigation took place when the authors requested a correction to the article, admitting they-had accidentally reused an image they previously published. Upon further review, the Editor-In-Chief saw that this reused image was-also clearly manipulated by the authors to create Figure 7b by rotation plus the removal of cells from the original image seen both in Figure 7a and also in the previous journal article figure. Upon questioning, the authors acknowledged they-had edited the previously published image. As a result, the figures, data, and conclusions are considered unreliable and therefore the article must be retracted.
