Abstract : Polymers with ester as the functional group on the main chain are called polyesters. In industries, the term polyester refers to mainly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (Yilmaa et al. in Mater Res 24:e20210021, 2021). Depending on the chemical structure, polyesters are classified into thermoplastic and thermosetting polyesters. The main source of polyesters is petroleum origin and is typically available in the form of plastics, films and fibers.
