RETRACTED: Multifunctional magnetic reduced graphene oxide dendrites: synthesis, characterization and their...

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief following concerns raised by a reader. The article uses an electron micrograph identical to another publication despite being labelled as different samples. Fig. 3F is the same as Fig. 1D published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics Volume 89 Part1, 15 March 2017, Pages 620-626, 10.1016/j.bios.2015.12.085. In addition, the extraordinary similarities observed between the data presented in Fig. 3C and in Fig. 3C in ACS Biomater. Sci. Eng., 2017, 3 (9), pp 2120–2135, 10.1021/acsbiomaterials.7b00089, Fig. 4A in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, Volume 142, 1 June 2016, Pages 248-258 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2016.02.053 and Fig. 4C in Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Volume 97, 15 November 2017, Pages 208-217, 10.1016/j.bios.2017.06.003 are highly unlikely. This problem with the data casts doubt on all the data, and accordingly also the conclusions based on that data, in this publication. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
