The main article geopolymer summarizes how geopolymer cements belong to the category of inorganic polymer.

Polymers are either organic material, i.e. carbon-based, or inorganic polymer, for example silicon-based.

More recently, the term refers to many molecular hosts, including calixarenes and cyclodextrins and even some inorganic polymers such as zeolites.

The ability of certain main group elements to catenate is currently the subject of research into inorganic polymers.

Hexachlorophosphazene together with the related (NPCl) are precursors to inorganic polymers called polyphosphazenes.

Copper(I) iodide, like most "binary" (containing only two elements) metal halides, is an inorganic polymer.

Typical for an inorganic polymer, Zn(CN) is insoluble in most solvents.

Simultaneous formation of the inorganic and organic polymers can result in the most homogeneous type of interpenetrating networks.

The support can be a synthetic resin, a biopolymer or an inorganic polymer such as (mesoporous) silica or a zeolite.

Aluminium chlorohydrate is best described as an inorganic polymer and as such is difficult to structurally characterise.
