Water-uptake (water-uptake) of neat BNC and the two PMPC/BNC nanocomposite membranes at different pH media for 48 h at RT.

Membranes Water-Uptake / %
pH 2.1 a pH 7.4 b pH 12.0 c
BNC 109 ± 14 101 ± 12 103 ± 10
PMPC/BNC_1 627 ± 38 639 ± 23 640 ± 42
PMPC/BNC_2 911 ± 26 899 ± 44 912 ± 27

a Measured after immersion in 0.01 M of HCl aqueous solution; b Measured after immersion in phosphate buffer solution; c Measured after immersion in 0.01 M of NaOH aqueous solution. All values are the mean of three replicates with the respective standard deviations.
