Answer
The work of Ziegler contributed to the development of new materials in the sphere of synthetic materials. Ziegler's work in the field of organometallic chemistry led to the development of a new class of catalysts, known as Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are used in the production of a wide range of synthetic polymers, including polyethylene and polypropylene. These polymers are used in a variety of applications, including packaging, textiles, and construction.
