# Retraction: Silicone oil impregnated nano silica modified glass surface and influence of environmental dust particles on optical transmittance

## TL;DR

This retraction notice addresses a previously published paper on how silicone oil and nano silica affect glass surfaces and optical transmittance in the presence of dust.

## Contribution

The paper is being retracted, indicating a significant issue with its content or findings.

## Key findings

- The paper originally investigated the modification of glass surfaces with silicone oil and nano silica.
- It examined the impact of environmental dust on optical transmittance through these modified surfaces.
- The retraction suggests the findings may be unreliable or invalid.
