摘要
This article recalls some aspects of the fascinating history of the discovery by Giulio Natta and his research group of the stereoselective polymerization of propylene and the understanding of the relationships between structure and properties of semicrystalline polymers. The impact of the discovery of isotactic polypropylene and stereoregular polymers on pure and applied science is briefly outlined. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
