    Uses and applications

    Fabrics woven or knitted from polyester thread or yarn are used extensively in apparel and home furnishings, from shirts and pants to jackets and hats, bed sheets, blankets, upholstered furniture and computer … See more

    Production

    Polyester is typically produced through a process known as polymerization. For polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the production process involves the chemical reaction between two primary raw materials: p… See more

    Synthesis

    Synthesis of polyesters is generally achieved by a polycondensation reaction. The general equation for the reaction of a diol with a diacid is:
    (n+1) R(OH)2 + n R'(COOH)2 → HO[ROOC… See more
