Ziegler-Natta catalysis: 50 years after the Nobel Prize
Ziegler-Natta catalysis: 50 years after the Nobel Prize. This issue of MRS Bulletin reviews the state of the art, developments, and challenges associated with Ziegler-Natta catalysis, as well as topics that are representative of contemporary Ziegler-Natta catalysis, including polyketone functionalization, cyclic olefin polymerization, and polar olefin polymerization. The two photographs show the polymerization setup in the Ziegler laboratory at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung for the first atmospheric pressure polymerization of ethylene, and a modern Borstar polypropylene production plant with a capacity of 300,000 t/year. Photos courtesy of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung and Borealis, respectively. See the technical theme that begins on page 213.
