Polyethylene terephthalate is made from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. You can modify the plastic properties by adding another glycol such as cyclohexane dimethanol in place of ethylene glycol. The properties of the plastic will be different due to the difference in size in the molecules. The polymer melting temperature will be lower since the modification of the backbone with a different sized molecule interferes with the structure of the polymer.
