Ziegler-Natta catalysts are important for industry, but determining exactly how they work is difficult due to their complex nature which involves a number of different active compounds on nano-sized structures. Researchersof the University of Turin led by Dr. Maddalena D’Amore have been using Density Functional Theory (DFT) to try to find out more about these types of systems.
