Removal of malachite green from water bodies is an environmental concern of utmost priority. It requires adsorbents that can efficiently operate under real conditions. In view of this, a new polyacrylic acid based nano-hybrid polymer was synthesized by using sol-gel method in which acrylic acid acts as an organic part and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as an inorganic component. The new series of two other nano-hybrid polymers were also synthesized by using nanoparticles of iron oxide and titanium dioxide. The synthesized nano-hybrid polymers were extensively characterized using FTIR and XRD spectroscopic techniques. Further the synthesized nano-hybrid polymers were subjected to swelling studies with respect to different parameter such as time, temperature and pH. Malachite green was used as a cationic dye for studying the uptake behavior of synthesized polymers. Maximum retention capacity (MRC) and reusability of hybrid polymers were also evaluated up to ten cycles. The hybrid polymer, poly(AAc)/TEOS was more effective with high dye retention capacity.
