Numerous additive materials have been used in the geotechnical engineering field for enhancement as well to improve the soil’s properties. Recently, polymeric-based stabilizers have shown the importance and are rapidly increasing in demand for stabilization of the soil. A long chain of polymers known as a polyacrylamide (PAM) seek its attention as it is easily soluble in water, more comfortable and effective. These additives showed up a superiority over traditional stabilizers. PAM can be used in pavement of the roads, helpful in prevention of soil erosion, and in construction, it is very cost effective. Basically, our aim is to give a review on the latest research or findings of these polymers-based additives and advancement in the PAM work. PAM is very commonly used polymer and works on the principle of the floc formation with the particle interaction of the soil.
