Abstract
Retraction of ‘Non-thermal microwave effects in radical polymerization of bio-based terpenoid (meth)acrylates’ by Thibault Castagnet, et al., Polym. Chem., 2020, 11, 6840–6846, DOI: 10.1039/D0PY01192D.
Highlights
We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this Polymer Chemistry article, due to concerns with the reliability of the data in the published article
The authors found that, while the temperature of the microwave reactor was relatively well controlled in the lower part of the reactor, the temperature in the upper part was higher
This would not necessarily affect the conclusions of the article because even if the average temperature was higher than what was measured at the bottom of the reactor, the high molecular weights obtained in the microwave reactor would still suggest a non-thermal effect
