Polyester is a type of plastic made from long chains of molecules linked together by chemical bonds called esters, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being the most common form. It matters because synthetic polyesters are widely used in clothing and other products, though most don't break down naturally in the environment, unlike some naturally occurring polyesters.

Polyester sind Polymere mit Esterfunktionen in ihrer Hauptkette. Zwar kommen auch in der Natur Polyester vor, doch heute versteht man unter Polyester eher eine große Familie synthetischer Polymere (Kunststoffe), zu denen die viel verwendeten Polycarbonate (PC) und vor allem das technisch wichtige, thermoplastische Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) gehören.Eine weitere Form sind ungesättigte Polyesterharze (UP-Harze), die durch Härtung zu Duroplasten werden und als preisgünstiges Matrixharz im Bereich Faserverbundkunststoffe verwendet werden.Außerdem lassen sich aromatische Polyester zu flüssigkristallinen Polymerketten anordnen, wodurch sich das Eigenschaftsprofil eines Hochleistungskunststoffes ergibt.
