Chair for the Chemistry of Construction Materials
We are interested in the chemical challenges of modern construction materials. Primarily, we work on the interaction of inorganic materials like cement and conrete with synthetic chemical species like functional polymers and molecules. The amount of globally produced concrete is in the order of 20 gigatons per year making concrete the largest man-made material. We are convinced that we can contribute to the global efforts of engineers and material scientists of making concrete more ressource efficient. Our tool of choice is synthetic chemistry.
- we synthesize functional polymers, molecules and nanophases as additives for construction materials
- we analyze the reactivity and interactions of cement phases during processing and service-life
- we characterize fresh and final material properties
we work together with engineers and material scientists from industry and academia
5th International Conference on the Chemistry of Construction Materials (ICCCM) 2025

We are excited to host the 5th International Conference on the Chemistry of Construction Materials (ICCCM) 2025, which will be held Monday 08 - Wednesday 10.09.2025 at TU Munich in Garching, Germany. This event will bring together leading experts to discuss the latest advances in construction chemistry.
We hope you can join us for this exciting opportunity to share insights and network with peers. Please find attached the conference program and the link to the preliminary conference site. We look forward to seeing you there.
