Simultaneously enhanced interfacial, mechanical properties and flame retardancy of high-density polyethylene-based composites using Mg,Al-containing melamine polyphosphate-grafted wood fibers

Statement of Retraction We, the authors, Editors and Publisher of the journal Composite Interfaces have retracted the following article: Yue Li, Tianyu Chen, Ping Tang & Shaohua Zeng (2023) Simultaneously enhanced interfacial, mechanical properties and flame retardancy of high-density polyethylene-based composites using Mg,Al-containing melamine polyphosphate-grafted wood fibers, Composite Interfaces, DOI: 10.1080/09276440.2023.2200569 Since publication, the authors have found inconsistencies with the repeatability of the flame retardant performance. As this impacts the validity of the reported results and conclusions, the authors alerted the issue to the Editor and Publisher, and all have agreed to retract the article to ensure the integrity of the scholarly record. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
