RETRACTION: Microwave‐Assisted Tragacanth Gum–Based Grafted Silver Nanocomposite Hydrogel for Sustained Release Formulations of Diclofenac Sodium and Antibacterial Assay

Abstract RETRACTION : S. Chapi, G. Babaladimath, M. V. Murugendrappa, and A. V. Raghu, “Microwave‐Assisted Tragacanth Gum–Based Grafted Silver Nanocomposite Hydrogel for Sustained Release Formulations of Diclofenac Sodium and Antibacterial Assay,” Nano Select 5, no. 12 (2024): e202300200, https://doi.org/10.1002/nano.202300200 . The above article, published online on 09 July 2024 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Lisa Smith; and Wiley‐VCH GmbH. The retraction has been agreed upon following image concerns raised by a third party. An investigation identified evidence of inappropriate image manipulation in Figures 6a, 8b, 10a, and 10b. The authors cooperated with the investigation and explained that the images were obtained from a third‐party institution; they also provided some data. However, this was not considered sufficient to resolve the concerns. The editors consider the results and conclusions to be compromised. The authors disagree with the retraction.
