Inorganic polymers are polymers whose repeat units use chemical elements other than carbon, although several such materials also contain carbon atoms. One of the best known examples is polydimethylsiloxane, otherwise known commonly as silicone rubber. It has a repeat unit based on silicon and oxygen:

-[O-Si(CH₃)₂n-

Silicon and oxygen also occur widely in a range of inorganic minerals, including silica, mica and feldspar with other elements.

Examples

• Polyphosphazene
• Polysulfide
• Borazine
• Polystannane
