Abstract
Expression of concern for ‘Efficient capture and photothermal ablation of planktonic bacteria and biofilms using reduced graphene oxide–polyethyleneimine flexible nanoheaters’ by Milica Budimir et al., J. Mater. Chem. B, 2019, 7, 2771–2781, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8TB01676C.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the data.
The Royal Society of Chemistry has asked the University of Lille to investigate this matter. An expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until we receive conclusive evidence regarding the reliability of the reported data.
