Disclosed herein is a turf filament comprising from 50 to 99.5 weight percent of abase polymer selected from polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters and combinations thereof, from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of polymer particles having a core and a shell structure where the core comprises a first polymeric material having a first refractive index and the shell comprises a second polymeric material having a second refractive index that is different from the first refractive index, from 0.5 to 30 weight percent of a compatibilizer and from 0 to 10 weight percent of a colorant based on total weight of the filaments. Also disclosed is a synthetic turf comprising such filaments. These filaments provide a turf with a natural appearance.
A turf filament comprising from 50 to 99.5 weight percent of a base polymer selected from polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters and combinations thereof, from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of polymer particles having a core and a shell structure where the core comprises a first polymeric material having a first refractive index and the shell comprises a second polymeric material having a second refractive index that is different from the first refractive index, from 0.5 to 30 weight percent of a compatibilizer and from 0 to 10 weight percent of a colorant based on total weight of the filaments.
A turf filament comprising
A synthetic turf comprising a substrate having a plurality of turf filaments of extending from the substrate wherein the turf filaments comprise 50 to 99.5 weight percent of a base polymer, 0.1 to 20 weight percent of polymeric particles comprising a core and a shell, 0.5 to 30 weight percent of a compatibilizer and 0 to 10 weight percent of a colorant based on total weight of the filaments, and
