Polyester, a condensation polymer, can be produced by chainwise,
acid-catalyzed ring openings of cyclic ester (lactone) without expulsion
of small molecules, and also by stepwise polycondensation of
ω-hydroxycarboxylic acid.
定義
A synthetic polymer
made by reacting alcohols with acids,
so that the monomers are linked by the
group –O–CO–. Synthetic fibers such as
Dacron are polyesters.
