11. Polyester
    A family of organic polymers characterized by the presence of ester groups O ' R-C-O-R within the molecule. Polyesters can be prepared to have reactive hydroxyl groups and thus can be used as a polyol in the preparation of urethane foam. Esters are more susceptible to hydrolysis than are ethers.
