The Ethylene Polymerization with Ziegler Catalysts: Fifty Years after the Discovery
Abstract
Fifty years ago, Karl Ziegler and his co‐workers discovered the synthesis of polyethylenes at low pressures and moderate high temperatures with transition‐metal catalysts of the 4th group and aluminum organic compounds as cocatalysts. The last 50 years represent a story of innovations in science and industry in the development of high‐activity catalysts and processes based on a detailed understanding of all relevant chemical and physical processes on all scales. Catalysts, technologies, and products are still under further development, which shows that the potential of this polymerization process is not fully exploited. Today's targets include achieving better product properties at lower production costs and the substitution of other materials, such as glass, paper, steel, and concrete in certain fields because polyethylenes deliver better resource‐saving solutions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
