What did Karl Ziegler do?
Karl Ziegler (1898–1973) and Giulio Natta (1903–1979) were just two of several scientists who independently developed catalysts that enabled polymerization at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure and exactly controlled the positioning of atoms attached to the polymer chains.
What did Karl Ziegler invent?
Ziegler–Natta catalyst
Which scientist was awarded Nobel Prize of his discovery about polymers?
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1963 was awarded jointly to Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta “for their discoveries in the field of the chemistry and technology of high polymers.”
What did Giulio Natta discover?
Lived 1903 – 1979. Giulio Natta discovered how to produce polymer chains with orderly spatial arrangements – i.e. stereoregular polymers. Such polymers can be customized to have different degrees of crystallinity and hence different physical properties, allowing them to be geared to different applications.
What is the formula of Ziegler Natta catalyst?
nCH2=CH2 [−CH2−CH2−]n.
