Polyester is a broad category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in their main chain. The most common type of polyester is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), widely used in the production of clothing, food and beverage containers, and films. Polyesters are synthesized through a process called polymerization, where monomers (small molecules) link together to form long chains. The specific properties of a polyester can be tailored by altering the monomers used in its creation.

Polyester fibers are known for their durability, wrinkle resistance, and resistance to stretching and shrinking. They are also relatively easy to care for and quick to dry, making them a popular choice for activewear and outdoor clothing. In textiles, polyester is often blended with natural fibers like cotton to enhance the fabric's performance characteristics. Beyond apparel, polyester finds applications in home furnishings, industrial fabrics, and as a component in some paints and coatings. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness have contributed to its widespread adoption in numerous industries.
