Question

Polymer formed from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol is called -​

Answer 1

Polyester is another common type of condensation polymer. ... One such polyester is called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is formed from the reaction of ethylene glycol with terephthalic acid. The structure of PET is shown below

Answer 2

• Ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid are polymerized to create PET(polyethylene terephthalate).
• Terephthalic acid is a crystalline solid made from ethylene glycol, whereas ethylene glycol is a colorless liquid made from ethylene.

polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

• PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a chemical name for polyester that is also abbreviated as PET.
• Polyethylene terephthalate is a condensation polymer made up of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
• Because water is a by-product of the reaction that generates this molecule, this is a condensation or step-growth polymerization.
• PET fibers are spun into permanent-press textiles, which are then blown into disposable water bottles

Properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate

• Crystal clear polymer
• Purity
• Safe
• Lightweight
• No Leakage and damage
• Recyclable
• Good resistance power
