Empa researchers, together with TISCA TIARA, a Swiss manufacturer of artificial turf, have developed a novel fiber for artificial turf. The bi-component fiber returns to an upright position again and again thanks to a hard core and avoids abrasions and grass burns after a fall because of a soft sheath. The turf has already been laid on two football pitches in Switzerland.
