Retraction of “Environmentally Compliant Fluoro-Containing MMA/ nBA Colloidal Dispersions; Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, and Coalescence” Anuradha Misra and Marek W. Urban* Macromolecules 2009, 42 (20), 7828−7835 DOI: 10.1021/ma9012303

ver the past decade or so, we published several papers which described an aqueous synthesis of F-containing colloidal dispersions. These studies have shown that using phospholipids as well as other dispersing agents it is possible to copolymerize highly hydrophobic F-monomers with acrylic monomers (MMA/nBA) in water. Several studies, including the most recent study published in ACS Macro Letters, 2014, 346, we have shown that using appropriate conditions it is possible to overcome high surface tension of water and copolymerize low surface tension hydrophobic monomers. However, it was found that in the publication in Macromolecules in 2009 (DOI: 10.1021/ma9012303) Figure 1 had been inappropriately edited. While the main findings of the publication, that is the synthesis of F-containing MMA/nBA copolymers, do not change, the inappropriate editing of Figure 1 calls into question other data in the publication. For that reason, the corresponding author of this publication requests retraction of this article. The original article was published on October 2, 2009, and was retracted on December 8, 2017.
