A　series　of　poly(acrylic　acid-co-acrylamide)/montmorillonite　composite　(poly(AA-co-AM)/MMT)　was　prepared　by　radical　polymerization.　The　composite　was　characterized　by　Fourier　transform　infrared　spectroscopy　(FTIR),　scanning　electron　microscope　(SEM),　energy　dispersive　X-ray　(EDX)　and　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD).　Batch　adsorption　experiments　of　methylene　blue　(MB)　from　aqueous　solutions　were　carried　out　with　poly(AA-co-AM)/MMT　composite.　The　effects　of　montmorillonite　(MMT)　content,　initial　pH　of　MB　solutions,　adsorption　temperature,　and　ionic　strength　on　the　adsorption　were　investigated.　Furthermore,　the　adsorption　kinetics　and　isotherms　were　studied　by　analyzing　the　effect　of　adsorption　time　and　initial　MB　concentration　on　the　adsorption　capacity.　The　results　indicated　that　the　addition　of　a　small　amount　of　MMT　could　improve　the　adsorption　capacity　of　the　poly(AA-co-AM).　The　maximum　adsorption　capacity　of　poly　(AA-co-AM)/MMT　(2%)　composite　was　1964.1　mg　g(-1).　The　adsorption　kinetics　were　in　good　agreement　with　the　pseudo-second-order　equation,　and　the　adsorption　isotherms　were　better　fitted　for　the　Langmuir　equation.　In　addition,　desorption　studies　show　that　the　composites　have　good　regenerative　properties.　The　experimental　results　show　that　the　poly(AA-co-AM)/MMT　can　be　used　as　promising　adsorbent　for　the　removal　of　MB　from　wastewater.
