The Ziegler–Natta catalyst is a type of catalyst used in the polymerization of alkenes, particularly ethylene and propylene, to produce high-performance polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Developed in the early 1950s by chemists Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, these catalysts are significant in the field of polymer science.
