RETRACTION: Effects of Newly Synthesized Nanocomposites Containing Multifunctionalized Silicon Nitride Nanoparticles: A Study on Structural, Thermal, Electrochemical, Mechanical, Morphological, Water Repellent Properties for Aerospace Components

RETRACTION: Joseph Raj Xavier, “ Effects of Newly Synthesized Nanocomposites Containing Multifunctionalized Silicon Nitride Nanoparticles: A Study on Structural, Thermal, Electrochemical, Mechanical, Morphological, Water Repellent Properties for Aerospace Components,” Journal of Applied Polymer Science 139, no. 26 (2022): e52446, https://doi.org/10.1002/app.52446.

The above article, published online on 21 April 2022 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Stefan Spiegel; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed following an investigation into concerns raised by a third party, which uncovered evidence of image manipulation in Figure 12g. Additionally, Figure 14b and 14c were found to be duplicate images, with one being an inverted version of the other. The author was unable to provide any supporting data or an acceptable explanation for these issues. Due to the nature of these concerns, and several other inconsistencies, the editors have lost confidence in the results and conclusions of this article. The author was informed about the retraction.
