The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1974 was awarded to Paul J. Flory for his fundamental achievements, both theoretical and experimental, in the physical chemistry of the macromolecules.
Marie Curie is the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry. She won the Physics Prize in 1903 (shared with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel) for their research on radioactivity, and the Chemistry Prize in 1911 for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium.

Linus Pauling. Nobel prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel peace prize in 1962.
He won two Nobel prizes, both for chemistry.
The only person to ever win a Noble Prize in BOTH chemistry and physics is Marie Curie. She was also the 1st person to ever win 2 Nobel Prizes AND she was the 1st woman to ever win a Nobel Prize.
As of 2009, four individuals have won a Nobel prize twice: Marie Curie (physics 1903, chemistry 1911), Linus Pauling (chemistry 1954, peace 1962), John Bardeen (physics 1956, physics 1972), Frederick Sanger (chemistry 1958, chemistry 1980). The only one of the four who was awarded both prizes as a solo recipient was Linus Pauling.
