The Journal Editorial Office has retracted this article because it significantly overlaps with a number of articles, including those that were under consideration at the same time [1,2] and previously published [3‒5].
All figures appear to share similarities with figures found in [3]. Figure 5 also appears to overlap with other publications by the same authors [1,4,6] and is supposed to represent results using different materials and conditions.
The editor no longer has confidence in the reliability of the data underlying the findings.
The editor was not able to obtain a current email address for Author Shadi Riahi. Author Ali Nazari did not respond to any correspondence from the Journal Editorial Office about this retraction.
