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-activating the backside, and applying a backing layer to the plasma-activated backside of the carrier mesh for providing the artificial turf.

A method of manufacturing an artificial turf, comprising:
- moving a carrier mesh through an air gap formed between a first electrode and a second electrode of a dielectric barrier discharge device, wherein the carrier mesh includes a backside, and wherein the carrier mesh includes fibers integrated such that a portion of the fibers are exposed on the backside;
- applying a dielectric barrier discharge to the backside of the carrier mesh for plasma-activating the backside;
- and
- applying a backing layer to the plasma-activated backside of the carrier mesh for providing the artificial turf.
An artificial turf, comprising:
- a carrier mesh including a backside, wherein the carrier mesh includes fibers integrated such that a portion of the fibers are exposed on the backside;
- and
- a backing layer positioned on the backside of the carrier mesh and connected to the backside via a plasma-discharge-assisted homogeneous distribution of binding forces between a backside surface of the carrier mesh and the backing layer.
A method of manufacturing an artificial turf, comprising:
- moving a carrier 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 one side of the carrier for plasma-activating the side;
- and
- using the plasma-activated carrier for manufacturing the artificial turf.
