A polymer is a large molecule (Macromolecule) composed of many repeated subuints called (monomers). Depending on the type of these monomers the resulting polymer can be classified as organic or inorganic.

Polymers with a skeletal carbon structure are called organic polymers.

See this list for a examples of organic polymers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Organic_polymers)

 

While polymers with a skeletal structure that doesn't include cabon atoms are called inorganic polymers such as:

Polysilanes; precursors to fibrous silicon carbide.

Polygermanes, Polystannanes, Polyborazylenes, Polyphosphates, Polythiazyls & Polysulfides.

Polysiloxanes like the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS),

Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) and polydiphenylsiloxane,

Polysilazanes like Perhydridopolysilazane PHPS,

Polyphosphazenes and their precursor the Poly(dichlorophosphazene).
