Hydrogels are a class of wet and soft materials, constituted by weakly cross-linked polymers that are composed of a hydrophilic three-dimensional network [1]. Weakness in mechanical strength and lack of thermal stability of hydrogels have led to limitations in their widespread use in various industries. The growing need of the industry to solve this problem and to obtain specially improved hydrogels has led to the design and production of Nanocomposite hydrogels. The polymer network of nanocomposite hydrogels has improved elastic and rheological properties in comparison with conventional hydrogels. Another point that adds to the importance of structural studies of nanocomposite hydrogels is the high strength of these materials against the application of external forces as well as maintaining its structural stability [2]. In this study, hydrogels are synthesized which, in addition to their biodegradability, are nanoscale and therefore offer high efficiency in terms of water treatment as well as the absorption of pollutants such as paints and metal ions from industrial effluents
