This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor. Concern was raised on PubPeer at https://pubpeer.com/publications/5BEB135C2C1B3B243343E6C7ECB5F3 about potential figure manipulation in Fig. 3 of the article, specifically the observation of numerous regions within several images appearing to be duplications of one another, an observation confirmed by the assessing editor. The authors were contacted and asked to provide an explanation which included .tif files of the images in question, which included the original scale bar and metadata indicating that they had been obtained using Tescan VEGA equipment at the Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute. However, the authors failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the duplicated regions. The Editor has therefore lost confidence in the reliability of the findings presented in this article, and is retracting it.
