Staudinger was bom in Worms, Germany, on March 23, 1881. He at first planned to study botany at the University of Halle, but he subsequently followed his father s advice and switched to chemistry. After graduating from

Staudinger, Hermann. (1881-1965). A German chemist, winner of a Nobel Prize in 1953 for his pioneer work on the structure of macromolecules and polymerization. A large part of modem high-polymer chemistry is based on his original research. 

Staudinger, Hermann (1881-1965). Fundamental research on high-polymer structure, catalytic synthesis, polymerization mechanisms, resulting eventually in development of stereospecific catalysts by Ziegler and Natta (stereoregular polymers). Nobel Prize 1963. 

Most plastics can be recycled. Even mixed plastic waste can be recycled into artificial lumber or particleboard. Plastic wood is easy to saw, and it has better resistance to adverse weather and insects than real wood.
