polypropylene in packaging

thermoplastic, addition polymers made from propylene monomers, polypropylene was first polymerized in 1951 by petroleum scientists Paul Hogan and Robert Banks who worked at Phillips. The success of the polymerization process was confirmed by Italian and German scientists Natta and Rehn through repetition. Since its inception, it was quickly put into commercial production, less than three years after second trials by Natta, and gained popularity rapidly.
