Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis of ELR membranes before and after mineralization was performed using FTIR Spectrum GX (PerkinElmer; Waltham, MA, USA). ELR membranes were placed over the infrared window and recorded 128 scans on average at a resolution of 4 per cm in the wavenumber range of 4000 per cm to 450 per cm in respect to the percentage of absorbance and the percentage of transmittance for organic and inorganic samples, respectively [22 (link)]. The spectrum data were analyzed by OMNIC software, and the original data values were dealt with Origin software to make the final spectrum curve.
