Which consequence results when rapid hydration overloads desalination membranes?

💡 Explanation

Excess water entry causes swelling, disrupting ionic crosslinking throughout the membrane matrix; this weakens structural integrity because the ionic domain softens; therefore, membranes distort rather than retaining shape because plastic deformation dominates.
