Abstract :

The nanocomposites of poly (Acryl amide-co-Acrylic acid) with different contents of NaAzeolite were prepared using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and N, N′-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. The morphology was characterized by SEM and the structure ofnanocomposite materials was studied with XRD and FT-IR that showed the interaction betweenporous materials and poly (AAm-co-Aac). The adsorption behaviors of methylene blue wereinvestigated for nanocomposites. It was shown that poly (AAm-co-AAc)/NaA nanocompositeshave higher adsorption than NaA and poly (AAm-co-AAc) alone. This effect was attributed togood interaction between the hydroxyl group in porous materials and carboxylic group in poly(AAm-co-AAc) with methylene blue.
