What is polyester made out of?

Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester group in its' main chain. \n\nUsually, polyester refers to cloth woven from polyester fiber. \n\nPolyesters do exist in nature (Plant Cuticle), however, polyester generally refers to the large family of synthetic polyesters (plastics) which includes polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).\n\nGet an "A".

synthetic fibers replace natural fibres like cotton, wool, etc. with polyester, and others

The basic fabric of carbohydrate origin is cellulose, used as cotton fibre, paper, linen etc. Adding functional groups to the cellulose will alter its qualities and result in film-like  material. Nitrocellulose was used in cinematography before less explosive film materials were available.\n\nLactose can also form stable polymers, in ping pong balls.

Well, this is a much more difficult question.  There are many types of plastics, both natural and synthetic.  All plastics are organic materials, which means they are mainly made of carbon.  Because there are natural plastics, you can't really say when it was invented.  However, asking when the first plastics were produced in lab would probably be a better question.  New plastics are developed everyday.

Cotton. And to the last one that answered, linen is made of flax, not cotton.

Polymers can be made through a process called ADDITION POLYMERISATION.\n\nPolymers are made from starting materials known as MONOMERS. In addition polymerisation, the monomer is a member of a family of compounds known as the ALKENES.\n\nDuring the polymerisation, the carbon to carbon double bond that exists in all alkenes is broken apart and the resulting molecules join together to form a straight chain molecule.\n\ne.g. the polymerisation of hundreds of ethene monomers will result in the polymer POLYETHENE.

i don't know exactly how the film is made. but the polythene is made up of monomers called ethene. Ethene is an alkene - notice the 'ene' on the end. Ethene has come from a process of 'cracking'. Before cracking, ethene was ethane - and guess what these are called- alkanes - notice the 'ane'. Alkanes make up crude oil, which we fractionally distill to get fuels such as petrol (for cars) and kerosine( aeroplane fuel)  \nAll these monomers (ethene) will join together to make a polymer - which in this case is polythene - in theory it should be called polyethene, not polythene. This process is called polymersiation. \n\nthis is it in basic form\n\ncrude oil ---> fractionally distilled (burn off fuels at certain temperatures) ----> get alkanes (which have a single carbon bond)-->process of cracking --> get an alkene (which have a double carbon bond - making it more reactive than an alkane) -->example - get ethene, which is a monomer ---> this monomer comes together with other monomers to make a polymer----> this process is polymerisation ----> the ethene monomers will come together to form polythene\n\nThere are other examples - such as the alkane - propane - notice 'ane' again. Once propane is cracked, it will form into an alkene called propene - notice 'ene' - the monomers are propene. So loads of propene monomers will come together (polymerisation) and form polyPROPene , not polyTHEne

Plastic.(according to George Carlin)\n\nIt is the only thing that God didn't make. We created it.\n\nThusly, God created us so we can make plastic.\n\nhaving served our purpose, Judgement day will come soon. We just need to make more plastic.

Poly amide is Nylon. Just go to any clothes shop

Well plastic is a polymer.  A polymer is a big huge molecule that is made up of repeats of smaller molecules linked together.  You can think of it like a train.  The polymer is the whole train and each of the smaller units is a car in the train.  To make plastic, you perform the chemical reactions that link the train cars together.  Then you perform some process to shape the plastic into the object you want.  Usually that process involves hot plastic that you just made and a mold that you put the hot plastic into.  There are many different types of plastic and the differences between them are which train cars are used in the train and how they are linked together.

Depends on what is is made of.

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a plastic that is used as an insulator in the electrical and electronics industries. It is a thermoplastic crystalline polymer, and a type of polyester. PBT is resistant to solvents, shrinks very little during forming, is mechanically strong, heat-resistant up to 150°C (or 200°C with glass-fibre reinforcement) and can be treated with flame retardants to make it noncombustible.

mostly seems to be made of plastic

Mostly silicone and manmade plastics. Are there active chemicals? No.

carbon fiber.\nit comes as a soft material rolled up like cloth, then they cut it and put it around a mould. It is hardened by putting it under a vacuum, and then in a huge autoclave which cooks the material. the result is strong yet light carbon-fiber

Amino acids.\n\nOH, I thought you asked what they are made OF. Sorry - Ribosomes!
