Definite man-made polyester
* Most polyesters are made with a polycondensation reaction.
* Polyester also comes in specialty finishes such as transparent, reflective, and photo luminescent
  - attracts very little humidity
  - contributes durability, stability or shrink resistance, and wrinkle resistance
  - definite man-made material
  - gives the best warmth weight ratio and lowest water absorption
  - hard synthetic resin used to make textile fibers
* Polyester has a memory when it is woven and that is why it shrinks when heated
  - smooth, shiny finish and is easy to dispose of and recycle
  - very low stretch factor
  - better uv resistance and nylon little better at moisture resistance
  - excellent elongation, tensile strength and recovery
  - no equal in finishes
  - two favorable properties
  - ignites easily and burns quickly
* Polyester is also the plastic that is used to make plastic pepsi and coke bottles
  - currently the most popular fiber used in the production of panel fabrics
  - expensive as hell, and polyamide is expensive as hell
  - famous for holding in smells
  - fitted around projections into the wet urethane
  - good as a thin under layer and fluffy insulation
  - harder, less flexible and stretches less
  - made from polyethylene terephthalate
  - manufactured in many weights including fiber-fill used in pillows and upholstery
  - materials
  - nick resistant and can be sealed with seals, heat or friction welds
  - nick-resistant and can be sealed with seals, heat, or friction welds
  - one of the most amenable finishes to spray on
  - quite translucent, whereas cellulose triacetate is rather opaque
  - resistant to normal stains but have an attraction for oily soils
  - stained easily by oils
  - stiff and rigid
  - strong and cleanable and stands up well under direct sunlight
  - strong, wrinkle resistant, and soil resistant
* Polyester is the most durable and dimensionally stable
  - film base
  - of the expendable color filter materials
  - used and most blended man-made fiber
* Polyester is used for high temperature applications where hydrocarbons are present
  - in many different types of clothing
  - to make insulating carpet
  - woven from monofilament line, very smooth monofilament line
  - little less pliable than vinyl
  - man made fiber, which polymer with esters
* Polyester offers less stretch and has better sunlight degradation resistance
  - superior structural rigidity and load bearing capacity
  - polymer produced from coal, air, water, and petroleum products
* Polyester provides excellent ultraviolet stability and is resistance to friction or abrasion
  - long-term strength and dimensional stability under heat
  - strong film formulated with a matte coating to provide super toner anchorage
  - strong, wrinkle-resistant fiber
  - type of polymer that contain the ester functional group in the main chain
* Polyesters are another class of polymer
  - widely used polymer
  - found in plastics
  - much more common, and much less expensive
* Polyesters can be thermosets or thermoplastics
  - burn if exposed to flame
  - have hydrocarbon backbones which contain ester linkages, hence the name
  - result from the reaction of dicarboxylic acids and diols
  - stretch less for their weight, especially when wet, and are often used in flatter water
  - tend to last longer than nylon styles, but are less resistant to tearing
+ Ester: Functional groups
  * Esters are a very important functional group. They can be found in many substances. They are very common in fats and oils. They sometimes have a very strong, nice smell. They can be used to make perfumes. Polyesters are found in plastics.
+ Polyester, Chemistry
  * Polyester is a type of polymer that contain the ester functional group in the main chain. There are many different polyesters. Polyesters include chemicals found in nature, such as in the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics through step-growth polymerization such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate. Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable. But most synthetic polyesters are not biodegradeable
  - Synthesis
  - Uses: Polymers
  * Polyester can be made into thread or yarn. Polyester fabrics are often used to make clothes and home furnishings. These include shirts, pants, jackets, hats, bed sheets, blankets, and upholstered furniture. Polyester fiber is used as cushioning and insulating material in pillows, comforters and upholstery padding. It can be used in curtains to insulate windows and keep heat indoors. Polyester is used to make insulating carpet
