Dear participants of the conference,
the organizing committee likes to welcome you to the 5th International Conference on Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers (PCE 2024) from 24 to 26 September 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand!
The world of PCE technology is an exciting research area. Most recent technological breakthroughs in concrete technology originate from the invention of novel admixtures. Due to their extraordinary performance, polycarboxylate superplasticizers have contributed a lot to this and became the most commonly applied superplasticizer in the market.
We have opened a “Center for Advanced PCE Studies” at the Faculty of Chemistry, TUM on March 28, 2014.
On March 27, 2015, the 1st Symposium on Advanced PCE Studies was held at the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) at TUM. On September 27 – 28, 2017, the 2nd International Conference on Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers was held at TUM. Thereafter, On September 24 – 25, 2017, the 3rd International Conference on Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers took place in Munich. In these events, the leading global experts on PCE technology presented to the audience of numerous guests from many countries including Japan, China and Russia on this special day. Afterwards, we have received many good comments and encouragement to continue this conference which brings inspired people together to ensure that PCE technology remains at the cutting edge.
PCE 2024 will again offer a unique opportunity for the PCE community to discuss important developments, exchange new ideas, consider latest market trends and at the same time stimulate further exploration of the PCE technology. On one hand, participants can gain knowledge from scientific lectures while on the other hand PCE 2022 offers insights into practical aspect of PCE application.
