  2. Polyester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester

    Polyester fibers are sometimes spun together with natural fibers to produce a cloth with blended properties. Cotton -polyester blends can be strong, wrinkle- and tear-resistant, and reduce shrinking. Synthetic fibers using polyester have high water, wind, and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers.

  3. Polyester resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester_resin

    Polyester resins are synthetic resins formed by the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols. Maleic anhydride is a commonly used raw material with diacid functionality in unsaturated polyester resins. [1] Unsaturated polyester resins are used in sheet moulding compound, bulk moulding compound and the toner of laser printers.

  4. Polyethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate

    Like most aromatic polymers, it has better barrier properties [clarification needed] than aliphatic polymers. It is strong and impact-resistant. PET is hygroscopic and absorbs water. [33] About 60% crystallization is the upper limit for commercial products, with the exception of polyester fibers.

  5. Synthetic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_fiber

    Although many classes of fibers based on synthetic polymers have been evaluated as potentially valuable commercial products, four of them - nylon, polyester, acrylic and polyolefin - dominate the market. These four account for approximately 98 percent by volume of synthetic fiber production, with polyester alone accounting for around 60 percent ...

  6. Polyol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyol

    Some of these chemistries are polyether, polyester, [6] polycarbonate [7] [8] and also acrylic polyols. [9] [10] Polyether polyols may be further subdivided and classified as polyethylene oxide or polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG) and Polytetrahydrofuran or PTMEG. These have 2, 3 and 4 carbons respectively per oxygen atom in ...

  7. Biodegradable polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_polymer

    A wide variety of starting materials can be used to synthesize polyesters, and each monomer type endows the final polymer chain with different characteristics and properties. The ROP of cyclic dimeric glycolic or lactic acid forms α-hydroxy acids which then polymerize into poly-(α-esters). [ 10 ]
