EFFECT OF BLENDING POLYETHYLENE TURF BY POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE AND POLYAMIDE ON GENERATION OF ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2020 One of the major drawbacks of polyethylene (PE) artificial turf is the generation of high values of electrostatic charge (ESC) during the contact and separation as well as sliding of rubber against the turf.

Artificial grass and genuine football: The evolution of artificial turf
Mathematics for Application, 2019 The article formulates, solves and draws inference from a game model intended to shed light on the evolution of artificial turf in professional European football (soccer). The main results indicate that quality of teams (sports performance-wise) define which teams choose to play on artificial turf or not.
