Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with the chemical formula (C10H8O4)n, is obtained by ester exchange of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol or esterification of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol to synthesize dihydroxyethyl terephthalate, followed by polycondensation. It is a crystalline saturated polyester, a milky white or light yellow, highly crystalline polymer with a smooth and glossy surface. …
