Abstract
Chemical sand stabilization has potential for desertification control and this method is characterized by its speed and convenience in operation compared with other stabilization technologies. The materials used in chemical sand stabilization are the key point of this technology and various materials have been developed and investigated. In this review, we present the classification, performance of the materials adopted in sand stabilization, and their stabilizing mechanism as well. We wish to find the relationship between the material structures and their application performance to prevent blind use. However, the consideration for the materials used in chemical sand stabilization is far behind the requirement of desertification control, thus greater efforts have to be paid in this area.
