Polymers polyethylene terephtalate

In addition, among the polyesters, polyethylene terephtalate) or Dacron, is another important member. In Figure 2.39, the repeating unit of polyethylene terephtalate) is shown [8,195], This polymer is applied in the production of fabrics. 

In the past few years there has been a real surge of new techniques for the preparation of porous materials that are characterized by well-defined cylindrical pores of sizes from a few micrometers, down to the nanometer range. Most notably, porous anodic alumina (PAA) [17] and porous silicon (p-Si) [18,19] that are prepared by electrochemical anodization, and track-etched polymer membranes (polycarbonate, polyimide, polyethylene terephtalate, etc.), represent the most well-known cases of porous membranes that are candidates for filtration applications and also for their use as templates in nanotechnology (nanowire fabrication [20]). The pore diameter range of these membranes is comparable to the typical thickness of polymer brushes that are usually prepared in the laboratory.
