"Polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in every repeat unit of their main chain".
- Polyester includes natural chemicals, such as plants and insects, and synthetics such as polybutyrate. Natural polyester and a few synthetics are perishable, but most synthetic polyesters are not. Synthetic polyester is widely used in textiles. Polyester fibers are sometimes woven together with natural fibers to produce a fabric with blended properties. Cotton-polyester blends can be strong, wrinkle and tear-resistant, and reduce weight loss. Synthetic fibers using polyester have more water, air, and environmental resistance compared to fibers found in plants.
- Some examples of polyesters are Terylene, PCDT polyester, etc.
