Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article “Hybrid ZrO2/Cr2O3 Epoxy Nanocomposites as Organic Coatings for Steel” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of a number of images presented in this publication [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that identified indications of inappropriate editing and duplication across figures presented in this article [1] and an earlier publication [2] produced by a different research group and presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated within this process, the raw material provided was not deemed satisfactory by the Editoral Board to resolve these concnerns. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and has decided to retract this publication, as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30) (accessed on 28 August 2025).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Coatings.
The authors do not agree with this decision.
