Abstract

The journal retracts the article titled “Recent Developments in Artificial Super-Wettable Surfaces Based on Bioinspired Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications” [1], cited above. Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding an overlap between this publication [1] and a previously published review article [2], produced by a different author group. Adhering to our procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board that confirmed a significant level of overlap between these two publications [1,2]. Given the extent of the overlap, the Editorial Board have decided to retract this article as per MDPI’s retraction policy (MDPI—Research and Publication Ethics). This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Polymers. Authors agree to this retraction.
