  2. Polyester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester

    When melting points of the monomers are sufficiently low, a polyester can be formed via direct esterification while removing the reaction water via vacuum. Direct bulk polyesterification at high temperatures (150 – 290 °C) is well-suited and used on the industrial scale for the production of aliphatic, unsaturated, and aromatic–aliphatic ...

  3. Coolmax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolmax

    Like other polyester fabrics, Coolmax is flammable and has a relatively low melting point (~255 °C), giving clothes made from it a tendency to melt and fuse to the wearer's skin when exposed to high heat.

  4. Vectran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectran

    Polyester coating is often used around a Vectran core; polyurethane coating can improve abrasion resistance and act as a water barrier. Vectran has a melting point of 330 °C, with progressive strength loss from 220 °C.

  5. BoPET - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoPET

    BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, [1] chemical stability, [1] dimensional stability, [2] transparency [1] reflectivity, and electrical insulation. [1]. When metallized, it has [3] gas and moisture barrier ...

  6. Polycaprolactone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycaprolactone

    Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a synthetic, semi-crystalline, biodegradable polyester with a melting point of about 60 °C and a glass transition temperature of about −60 °C. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The most common use of polycaprolactone is in the production of speciality polyurethanes .

  7. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Thermosets do not melt when heated, but typically decompose and do not reform upon cooling. Stress-strain graph of a thermoplastic material. Above its glass transition temperature and below its melting point, the physical properties of a thermoplastic change drastically without an associated phase change.

  8. Polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclohexylenedim...

    Polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) is a thermoplastic polyester formed from the polycondensation of terephthalic acid and cyclohexanedimethanol. [1] Its chemical structure is similar to that of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with which it shares properties like dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

  9. Melt blowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melt_blowing

    Melt blowing is a conventional fabrication method of micro- and nanofibers where a polymer melt is extruded through small nozzles surrounded by high speed blowing gas. The randomly deposited fibers form a nonwoven sheet product applicable for filtration, sorbents, apparels and drug delivery systems.
