no. Ceramic knives can be sharpened at a qualified knife shop that has a diamond sharpening wheel. For minor nicks Kyocera has a battery powered ceramic knife sharpener with diamond grinding stone (Kyocera DS-50) for home use.

Use a wheel specifically rated for grinding concrete or ceramic tile. It doesn't have to be a diamond wheel; titanium-coated, tungsten-coated or carbide coated wheels will also work.
Not at all. A diamond contains mostly carbon. A polymer would have other elements besides carbon - teflon, for instance, is carbon and fluorine (I picked teflon because it's the simplest polymer - lots and lots of carbon and fluorine atoms.)
In ceramic processing, polymers are often added to ceramic particles to allow for higher densities and sufficient green strength. The green body, or pre-fired ceramic, must have sufficient strength to hold its shape after being pressed. Binder burnout is a processing step performed before sintering, where the green body is heated until the polymer binder is burned out of the ceramic. Sintering is the process by which ceramics are densified. Sintering is done because ceramics have very high melting temperatures and reactive melts. In sintering, the green ceramic is heated to a high temperature, below the melting point of the ceramic, where high rates of diffusion are possible. The ceramic particles are joined into a solid monolith through diffusional movement of atoms.
It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
