International Congress on Polymers in Concrete (ICPIC 2018), Washington DC, USA

International Congress of Polymers in Concrete (ICPIC) is an international forum that has been taking place every three years for the last 40 years with the objective of following progress in the field of polymers and their use in concrete and construction.

OBJECTIVES

• To create an opportunity for scientists, researchers, chemists, engineers and construction specialists working in this field of polymers in concrete to discuss and learn and stay up to date
• To showcase the use of polymers and polymer concrete in sustainable and resilient development
• To enable exchange of knowledge and ability to network for industry experts, researchers, scientists, academics, students, engineers and practitioners
• To create a forum for researchers to present their latest research results, ideas and experiences, as well as to discuss critical challenges and effective solutions for using polymer concrete
• To provide a platform for local and overseas suppliers, developers, manufacturers and contractors using polymers, polymer concrete and polymer composites in concrete structures to develop new business opportunities
