Abstract
The polarization of polyvinyl alcohol films has been investigated. It has been established that it is a consequence of the breakdown of the cluster of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the polyvinyl alcohol-water system. The critical indices of the breakdown process from the viewpoint of the phase, percolation, and fractal approximations have been found.
