No. Polymers are a general class of molecules that consist of a long chain of repeated subunits. Plastics are polymers, for example.
(Poly - many)
PFAs specifically have chains of carbon-flourine bonds, among other differentiators.
For geopolymers, a layperson intuition is to think of ceramics (specifically, the binders that hold them together)
