Answer

Carbon is commonly associated with Ziegler's work because he is credited with developing the Ziegler–Natta process, which is used to produce polyethylene and polypropylene. This process involves the use of a catalyst, which is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction. The catalyst in the Ziegler–Natta process is a metal compound that contains titanium and aluminum.
