No, polyester was invented in 1941 by British chemists John Whinfield and James Dickson while employed by the Calico Printer's Association of Manchester, England. Its name is probably derived from an abbreviation of its molecular constituent "Polyethylene terephthalate."
It was first invented in Carothers' laboratory, then a group of British scientists took up Carothers' work in 1939. In 1941 they created the first polyester fiber called Terylene.
Polyester was invented in 1941. Terylene was the first polyester made by Whinfield, Dickson, Bertwhistle and Ritchiethey. Polyester is a quick, easy and cheap fabric to make clothing with.
Two British scientific chemists called John Rex and James Tenant Dickson are the men responsible for the formulation of polyester. This was done for the Calico company in 1941.
