High density polyethylene (HDPE) synthesis provides a new coordination polymerization mechanism for polymer chemistry. Ziegler was regarded as the first person to synthesize HDPE in 1953
but the historical truth is that it was not. In this paper
based on the historical facts
we discussed who first synthesized HDPE and investigated synthesis technology of HDPE described in the existing polymer chemistry textbooks at home and abroad. It was found that most textbooks did not accurately record the real situation and ignored the contributions of others (especially Hogan and Banks
etc.) to synthesis of HDPE. Finally
the history of science and technology
which was discussed in polymer chemistry course
can promote students' understanding of basic concepts
cultivate innovative ideas and stimulate their learning enthusiasm.
