Abstract

Correction for ‘Overview of sterilization methods for UHMWPE through surface analysis’ by Melissa Machado Rodrigues et al., Mater. Adv., 2020, DOI: 10.1039/d0ma00772b.


The authors regret an error in Fig. 6a in the original article. It contained the incorrect nanoscratch trail FEG-SEM micrograph for the pristine condition. The corrected version of Fig. 6a is provided below. The authors confirm that the change does not affect the discussion of the results, nor the conclusions of the paper.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
