聚烯烃工业的先驱者——纪念德国化学家Karl Ziegler逝世50周年

doi:10.3866/PKU.DXHX202312065

Abstract

Abstract: This article commemorates the 50th anniversary of the passing of Karl Ziegler, a Nobel Prize-winning German chemist, by exploring his scientific journey and remarkable contributions. Ziegler’s unwavering passion for science, unique thinking, and exceptional experimental skills formed the bedrock of his scientific endeavors. His research primarily focused on free radical compounds, polycyclic compounds, and organometallic compounds. The Ziegler-Natta catalyst, which he co-invented and named alongside Giulio Natta, had far-reaching implications for the global polyolefin industry, giving rise to a market worth billions of dollars.

Key words: Karl Ziegler, Ziegler-Natta catalyst, Biography
