Kevlar is a synthetic polymer that was marketed for the first time in 1971. It is difficult to cut and does not shrink when expo
sed to cold temperature. It will not rust or corrode, and it can be immersed in water without being affected. Kevlar has low chemical reactivity and is an insulator. It is flame resistant and will not melt or soften at high temperatures. How could this negatively affect society? A) It will not chemically react to acid rain like many other materials. B) Tire companies will not sell as many tires since they would not fail as easily. C) It would be more difficult and costly to dispose since it does not naturally break down easily. D) Bullets will no longer be able to penetrate materials made of Kevlar as easily as other materials.
The negative impact of kevlar in the society is that it can not just be disposed via conventional methods. It's resistance to flame and and high temperature means burning it will not dispose it. Also, its water resistant property means kevlar will obstruct drainages if thrown in the drainage - because when it piles up, water will not be able to pass through it hence obstructing the flow of water. It being difficult to cut, with its low reactivity and it's non-corrosive property means it will be very difficult and expensive to dispose
