Polyesters: an alternative to bio-resistant polyolefins

Abstract

Nonstop use of bioresistent polyolefins is beginning to be a serious problem to our society. The work showed here gives us a global vision for a better understanding of the problem and proposes the polyesters as an interesting alternative to polyolefins. Herein we describe in detail the types of polyesters, origin, classification, synthetic methods, and current applications.
