Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative SEM images demonstrating the effects of different surface treatments on membrane morphology (magnification x15,000, except (f) x10,000) and histogram plot of fibre diameter frequency distribution (n=150). (a) untreated, (b) UV for 15 minutes, (c) UV for 30 minutes, (d) 0.1 M NaOH for 15 minutes, (e) 0.1 M NaOH for 30 minutes, (f) 1 M NaOH for 15 minutes, (g) 1 M NaOH for 30 minutes, (h) 0.1 M HCl for 15 minutes, (i) 0.1 M HCl for 30 minutes and (j) 1 M HCl for 30 minutes. Kruskal-Wallis: p<0.0001. Dunnett’s multiple comparison: **** = p<0.0001
Article Snippet: Three membranes were analysed for each parameter (n=150) A fibre diameter distribution histogram was plotted using GraphPad Prism 8.3.0.
