PVA, or polyvinyl alcohol, is polar due to its hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water and other polar substances. These hydroxyl groups create regions of partial positive and negative charges, contributing to the molecule's overall polar character. The presence of these polar functional groups enhances PVA's solubility in water and its compatibility with other polar materials.
