Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fiber, made to appear like natural grass. Initially, artificial turfs were
used in sport arenas that were played on grass. However, they are now extensively used for various
commercial and residential application. Artificial turf were primarily introduced in the market as a
substitute of natural grass, used to minimize undesired maintenance of grass and used in areas where
grass is not sufficiently grown. For instance, artificial turf was first used in 1996 at Tropicana basketball

withstand extreme weather conditions, easy maintenance, and no irrigation and can be used for multiple
times for several hours.
