Sieve-tube members that are alive contain a polymer called callose.

Usually as a mixture with other polysulfides, sodium tetrasulfide is used to produce the polymer called thiokol.

Some years ago Causton found that biological polymers called mucopolysaccharides could exclude protein from some surfaces.

Some synthetic silicon-containing organic compounds are of commercial importance, including the silicon-containing polymers called silicones.

Another synthetic polymer sometimes called by the same general category, is acetal resin.

Silicon is the basis of the ubiquitous synthetic silicon-based polymers called silicones.

Glass wafers coated with a plastic polymer called polydiacetylene film were able to target different microorganisms and their toxins.

There is also an infinite polymer called paraformaldehyde.
