Giulio Natta was an Italian chemist who contributed to the development of high polymers useful in the manufacture of films, plastics, fibres, and synthetic rubber. Along with Karl Ziegler of Germany, he was honoured in 1963 with the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the development of Ziegler-Natta.
Giulio Natta (Italian: [ˈd͡ʒu.ljo ˈnat.ta]; 26 February 1903 – 2 May 1979) was an Italian chemical engineer and Nobel laureate. He won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963 with Karl Ziegler for work on high density polymers.
Karl Ziegler (1898–1973) and Giulio Natta (1903–1979) were just two of several scientists who independently developed catalysts that enabled polymerization at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure and exactly controlled the positioning of atoms attached to the polymer chains.

Giulio Natta, who shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with Karl Ziegler, was an Italian crystallographer who used the “Ziegler catalyst” to produce polypropylene. His wife, Rosita, coined the tacticity terms after Giulio had shown that stereoregular...
Giulio Natta. 1903-1979. Italian chemist recognized for his work with polymer chemistry. Natta's early work involved the examination of polymer crystal structures by means of x-ray and electron diffraction, contributing toward better understanding of their molecular properties and making possible the synthesis of improved polymers.
Giulio Natta (1903 – 1979) was born in a small town near Genoa, Italy, in 1903. He was a chemist who contributed to the understanding of high-molecular-weight polymers, which led to the development of new plastics and rubber materials.
