Correction to “Bioinspired Hydrophilic and Oleophilic Absorption Media from Biotemplated Fungi”
The units for the Reduced Modulus and Hardness on Figures 8 and9, respectively, were erroneously listed as MPa rather than GPa.This error does not affect the body of the text or the conclusions.In section 3.3.Mechanical Properties, values were discussed in relation to each other (e.g., "The hybrid samples achieved an average reduced modulus of more than 337 times larger and an average hardness of more than 172 times larger than the respective averages of the monomitic dehydrated samples."),which remains true for the values with the correct units.Additional discussion is found in section 3.4.Liquid Absorption Properties, comparing the absorption and mechanical properties of sol-gel materials to those fabricated in this study.In this section, it is stated, "While some of these sol-gel materials may be able to absorb more fluid, they have less mechanical resistance than what was achieved in this study."Because the error used MPa rather than GPa, this discussion point is still true and not affected by the error.We apologize for this error.Figure 8.Figure 9.
