Edwin J. Vandenberg (September 13, 1918 – 2005) was a chemist at Hercules Inc. and a researcher at Arizona State University. Among his awards were the Priestley Medal in 2003.,〔("A Polymer Man's Herculean Effort", C&EN, 81(11), 32 (March 24, 2003). )〕 and the Charles Goodyear Medal in 1991. Vandenberg is best known for his work at Hercules in the 1950s through the 1970s that included the independent discovery of isotactic polypropylene and the development of Ziegler-type catalysts. The Vandenberg catalyst is named after him. This catalyst is an aluminoxane, prepared from an alkyl-aluminium and water, used as a catalyst in the manufacture of polyether elastomers. ==Awards== * ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry (1981) * ACS Award in Applied Polymer Science (1991) * ACS Rubber Division's Charles Goodyear Medal (1991) * ACS Polymer Division's Herman F.
