Yes, PVC is polar.
First off, its C-Cl bond has an electronegativity difference of more than 1.4, which means it has a polar bond.
Second, its molecular structure is formed in a way that is not very symmetrical (most symmetrical molecules are non-polar) and its bond dipoles don't cancel out.
So PVC is polar because it contains polar bonds, and its bond dipoles in its structure don't cancel out.

hydrophilic
Is sucrose hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
sucrose is a sugar so it has several OH subgroups thus making it hydrophilic
Is DNA hydrophilic molecule?
Dna has a hydrophilic and hydrophobic side, also you have to remember that DNA is a polar molecule
Are carbohydrates hydrophilic or hydrophobic and how do you test this?
hydrophilic b/c carbohydrates are made of sugars; sugars (such as glucose) have LOTS of hydroxyl groups which are hydrophilic, therefore carbohydrates are hydrophilic

Is the polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
A polar molecule is hydrophilic, which means that it will easily dissolve in water. Examples of hydrophilic molecules are sugars and salts.
Do glycolipids have hydrophilic heads?
Glycolipids contain hydrophilic heads. These hydrophilic heads interact with each other and form a hydrophilic coating on each side of the bilayer point towards the polar solvent.
