J. T. Dickson and J. R. Whinfield produced a polyester fiber through condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol with terephthalic acid which became famous as 'wash & wear' and the textile industry saw a revolution as never before. Its first commercial production was in 1953 in the US and was accompanied by the introduction of triacetate in 1954. Polyester, today is the most used fiber in the textile and related industries followed by nylon.
