pretty much all are covalent bonds, C-C is covalent bond, C-H, C-O, C=C, C~C, C-N, C=N, C~N are all covalent bonds. Most polymers have just a carbon backbone, thus covalent. I can not think of an ionic bonded polymer, some of the regents used to make polymers can be ionic like salts, but the final chain of mers is covalent, typically non-polar.

Covalent bonds. Larger structures held together by ionic bonds are called crystal latices.
