Frontal polymerization (FP) was used as a new facile technique for the preparation of poly(acrylic acid acrylamide) (PAA) hydrogels obtained from acrylic acid (AAc) and acrylamide (AM) in the presence of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The dependence of the front velocity and front temperature on the factors such as the ratio of AAc and AM, the content of MBA and initiator was investigated. The microstructure. dynamic swelling, morphology and cationic dyes removal of PAA hydrogels prepared via FP were studied by FTIR spectrum, FE-SEM and swelling measurements. The results showed that PM hydrogels prepared via FP exhibited good swelling and adsorption capacity toward cationic dyes and the adsorption capacity of may reach 4.12 and 11.23 mg/g in crystal violet (CV) and basic magenta (BM) solution after 72 h, respectively.
