Is Teflon a polymer?
It's not Teflon. There's a NASA test there that says it is a carbon based polymer and shows a picture of a surface with and without it... but nothing more about the structure. I suspect it's not a known polymer... and that's why the manufacturer/chemist (John Bishop) doesn't describe it more precisely.
Can NMR identify repeating elements?
Apparently NMR will only identify any repeating elements. Knowing which elements is useful but won't tell you what order they're in... at least not in a polymer. That means NMR is only marginally useful in describing this undocumented molecule. We still should be able to expand on the properties of the polymer with other tests (our labs have all the common tests available). I think it won't be till I get my teeth stuck into this testing that I'll be able to be a bit more definitive on which tests are the most useful. :-)
