Polymers composed of macromolecules containing exclusively -bonded benzene or substituted benzene rings in the backbone:
where , , and are each hydrogen or an univalent group (structure-based polymer class name).

Note:
Polyphenylenes are a subclass of polyarylenes and also a subclass of conjugated polymers except for poly(1,3-phenylene)s which are not conjugated polymers.
