Poly Fabric Details
Polyester
is a very popular synthetic fabric, often found in combination with
natural fibers to provide strength and resistance to both wrinkles and
the elements. The material commonly known as polyester,
polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is actually only one of a group of
polymers that contain the ester functional group in their chemical
composition, and is derived chiefly from petroleum.
PET, henceforth referred to as polyester, was patented in 1941 by British chemists John Whinfield and James Dickson while employed by the Calico Printer's Association of Manchester, England. The pair developed polyester based on the early research of Wallace Carothers, the inventor of nylon. While DuPont decided to focus solely on the development of nylon in the 1930's and 40's, Whinfield and Dickson created the first polyester fiber, Terylene. DuPont soon purchased the U.S. rights to Terylene and resumed its research into polyester, introducing its own version, Dacron, in 1950.
