Milano, Italy, 53 years and 4 days ago
Nobel prize to Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta in 1963“Nature synthesizes many stereoregular polymers, for example cellulose and rubber. This ability has been so far thought to be a monopoly of Nature operating with biocatalysts known as enzymes. But now Prof. Natta has broken this monopoly… The scientific and technical consequences of your discovery are immense and cannot even now be fully estimated.”
Presentation Speech, Stockholm, December 10 1963

Consequences of the discovery
• About 100*106 tons/year of PE & PP in 2005
• 1 m3 blocks would wrap the equator 2.5 times
