The dominant polyester used in the world is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is mainly used in bottles, fibers and films.
 | Although PET is a rather stable polymer, there still exists room for improvement, e.g. reducing: - undesired side-products
- discoloration
- hydrolytic/thermal degradation
