Abstract: A method of manufacturing an artificial turf provides for moving a carrier mesh through an air gap formed between a first electrode and a second electrode of a dielectric barrier discharge device, applying a dielectric barrier discharge to a backside of the carrier mesh for plasma-based activation of the backside, and applying a backing layer to the plasma-activated backside of the carrier mesh for providing the artificial turf.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method of manufacturing artificial turf (1000). The method includes creating a polymer mixture, such as polymer mixture (400), where the polymer mixture is at least a three-phase system. The polymer mixture includes a first polymer, a second polymer and a compatibilizer. The first polymer is a polyamide (PA) and the second polymer is a polyethylene (PE). The first polymer is included in an amount of 0.125 percent to 5 percent by weight, the second polymer is included in an amount of 60 percent to 97 percent by weight and the compatibilizer is included in an amount of 0.375 percent to 15 percent by weight. The first polymer and the second polymer are immiscible, and the first polymer forms polymer beads surrounded by the compatibilizer within the second polymer.

Abstract: Playing surface, in particular a sports floor or playing field. The playing surface comprises a substrate layer lying on top of a base layer and one or more additional layers lying on top of the substrate layer. The substrate layer is a leveled, compacted mixture of elastic granules and stones. At least one of the additional layers is an elastic layer. The substrate layer and the one or more additional layers form the playing surface.

Abstract: A coextrusion head for manufacturing a bicomponent polymer fiber, comprising a first inlet for receiving a core polymer component, a second inlet for receiving a cladding polymer component, and a dual-channel nozzle comprising an inner channel and an outer channel encompassing the inner channel. The inner and outer channel are in hydraulic connection with the first and second inlet, respectively. The dual-channel nozzle further comprises a joining path establishing a hydraulic connection between the inner channel, the outer channel, and a nozzle outlet of the dual-channel nozzle. The joining path is adapted for bringing the core polymer component and the cladding polymer component into contact with each other such that a contact layer comprising a mixture of the core polymer component and the cladding polymer component is formed between the core polymer component and the cladding polymer component.
