Giulio Natta
chemist born in Imperia in 1903 and died in Bergamo in 1979.
Graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, Natta taught there industrial Chemistry leaving from 1938, specialising in the study of structural properties of polymers.
His name is linked to the synthesis of the isotopic polypropilene that he achieved in 1954 from the propilene, using particular catalysts discovered by the German chemist K. Ziegler. The product obtained this way attracted a large industrial success, so to be used with the names of Moplen and Meraklon, as plastic materials and fibers.
In 1963 Natta received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, together with Ziegler.
