Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta were awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are important catalysts used in various polymer industries and the production of high density polyethylene. Ziegler received several honors including the Liebig Medal in 1935 and Werner von Siemens Ring in 1961, while Natta received the Lomonosov Gold Medal in 1969 for their pioneering research developing Ziegler-Natta catalysts and stereo regular polymer synthesis.
