Zusammenfassung:► Chlorine-resistant disulfonated copolymer (BPS-20)-silica nanocomposites are fabricated for membrane desalination. ► Homogenously distributed silica particles improve salt rejection without significant loss of water permeability. ► At a high concentration, the silica provides a barrier which reduces water permeability. Hydrophilic silica (SiO 2) nanoparticles (average size = 7 nm), which act as inorganic acids at low pH (
