Etymology

Polyester, a synthetic polymer made from coal, air, water, and petroleum, was first patented in the UK in 1941 by British chemists John Rex Whinfield and James Tennant Dickson. It became popular in the textile industry in the 1950s due to its properties like durability, resistance to shrinking, and ease of care. Polyester revolutionized the clothing industry by providing affordable, easy-to-maintain fabrics.
