A novel inorganic–organic hybrid with modified palygorskite (MPGS) and acrylamide was prepared with a heterogeneous redox initiator system composed of a reductive agent (MPGS) together with an oxidant (Ce 4+ ). The MPGS–polyacrylamide (PAM) hybrids were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, 1 H‐NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, conductometry, viscometry, and size exclusion chromatography. The MPGS–PAM hybrid could be a starlike and ionic bond hybrid. The ionization behavior of the MPGS–PAM hybrid in deionized water depended strongly on its coil dimension and the palygorskite content in the hybrid. The flocculation performance of the MPGS–PAM hybrid in a kaolin suspension was also related to its intrinsic viscosity and the palygorskite content and was better than that of PAM, except for that of the MPGS–PAM hybrid with a high palygorskite content. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
