  Polyethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Depending on its processing and thermal history, it may exist both as an amorphous (transparent) and as a semi-crystalline (opaque and white) material.
It can be synthesized by a transesterification reaction between ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate.
Replacing terephthalic acid (right) with isophthalic acid (center) creates a kink in the PET chain, interfering with crystallization and lowering the polymer's melting point.

 Process for preparing easily dyeable polyethylene terephthalate fiber - Patent 5108675
The polyethylene terephthalate usable for the present invention may be prepared by known polymerization processes and may optionally contain a thermal stabilizer, a flatting agent, ar anti-static agent, or the like.
The polyethylene terephthalate fiber according to the present invention should have an initial modulus of from 60 g/d to 130 g/d, preferably from 70 g/d to 120 g/d.
In the process according to the present invention, the polyethylene terephthalate filaments extruded from the spinneret are passed through a heating zone defined over a length of not less than 5 cm from the bottom surface of the spinneret and are maintained at a temperature of from 150.degree.

 Slow-crystallizing polyester resins patent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In this regard, the method generally includes reacting a terephthalate component and a diol component (i.e., a terephthalate moiety and a diol moiety) in the presence of a titanium catalyst to form polyethylene terephthalate precursors, which are then polymerized via melt phase polycondensation to form polymers of polyethylene terephthalate of a desired molecular weight.
For example, in one such embodiment the modified polyethylene terephthalate is composed of about a 1:1 molar ratio of (1) a diacid component of 2.4 mole percent isophthalic acid with the remainder terephthalic acid, and (2) a diol component of 1.6 mole percent diethylene glycol and the remainder ethylene glycol.
Thus, to facilitate the solid phase polymerization of the polyethylene terephthalate resins, complementary SSP catalysts are introduced to the polymer melt prior to solid phase polymerization, preferably during polycondensation.

 Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) - Market Size, Market Share and Demand Forecast;
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) may be produced from ethylene glycol and either dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) or terephthalic acid (TPA).
The extent of polymerization (apparent from the molecular weight of the polymer) is a function of the polymerization conditions and significantly affects the properties of the resin that is produced.
Polyethylene terephthalate can be polycondensed in melt-stirred autoclaves up to an IV of 0.6; in special heavy-duty reactors, IVs of up to 0.85 can be achieved without significant thermal damage.

 Polyester
The structure in the picture is called poly(ethylene terephthalate), or PET for short, because it is made up of ethylene groups and terephthalate groups (duh!).
I realize that terephthalate is not the kind of word most English-speaking mouths are used to saying, but with practice you should be able to say it with only a slight feeling of awkwardness when it rolls off your tongue.
The ester groups in the polyester chain are polar, with the carbonyl oxygen atom having a somewhat negative charge and the carbonyl carbon atom having a somewhat positive charge.
