Karl Waldemar Ziegler ( November 26, 1898 &ndash August 12 1973) was a German Chemist who won the Nobel Prize A polymer is a large Molecule ( Macromolecule) composed of repeating Structural units typically connected by Covalent Chemical bonds He was born in Imperia, Italy, on February 26, 1903. Imperia is a coastal city and Comune in the region of Liguria, Italy. He graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 1924. The Politecnico di Milano University is the largest technical University in Italy, with about 40000 students In 1927 he passed the exams for becoming a professor there. In 1933 he became a full professor and the director of the Institute of General Chemistry of Pavia University, where he stayed until 1935. The University of Pavia ( Italian: Università degli Studi di Pavia, UNIPV is a university located in Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. In that year he was appointed full professor in physical chemistry at the University of Rome. Sapienza University of Rome ( Italian Sapienza Università di Roma) is a coeducational autonomous state university in Rome, Italy From 1936 to 1938 he moved as a full professor and director of the Institute of Industrial Chemistry at the Politecnico di Torino. The Polytechnic University of Turin ( Italian: Politecnico di Torino, POLITO is an Engineering University based in Turin. In 1938 he took the head of the Department of chemical engineering at Politecnico di Milano university, in a somehow criticized manner, when his predecessor Mario Giacomo Levi was forced to step down as a consequence of racial laws against Jews being introduced in fascist Italy.

His work at the Politecnico led to the improvement of earlier work by Ziegler and to the development of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Ziegler is a common German surname meaning "bricklayer" and may refer to the following people Alexander Ziegler, a Swiss publicist and author--> A Ziegler-Natta catalyst is a Reagent or a mixture of reagents used in the production of Polymers of 1-alkenes (α-olefins He won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963 with Karl Ziegler for work on high polymers. The Nobel Prize (Nobelpriset (Nobelprisen is a Swedish prize established in the 1895 will of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel; it was first awarded in Peace, Literature Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties Karl Waldemar Ziegler ( November 26, 1898 &ndash August 12 1973) was a German Chemist who won the Nobel Prize A polymer is a large Molecule ( Macromolecule) composed of repeating Structural units typically connected by Covalent Chemical bonds

He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1956.
