Compositions especially suitable for forming fibers and films having good elasticity and relatively high modulus are disclosed. Surprisingly, compositions including a styrenic block copolymer having a relatively high melt flow rate, and a detackifier, and optionally, but preferably in some embodiments a polyolefin (co)polymer, and/or polystyrene polymer, and/or a softener have good draw down performance and are processable into fibers having low tack, relatively high modulus and tensile strength. The fibers produced from the composition can be processed easily and are useful to manufacture articles such as fabrics, both woven and non-woven, webs, threads, and yarns. In various embodiments, unique fiber structures are produced having low tack and desirable elasticity.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a nozzle for 3-D printing. The nozzle may include a first nozzle tip defining a first outlet, where the first nozzle tip includes a first channel extending therethrough. The nozzle may further include a second nozzle tip defining a second outlet, where the second nozzle tip includes a second channel extending therethrough, and where the first channel surrounds the second outlet. The second nozzle tip may be retracted longitudinally with respect to the first nozzle tip such that the second outlet of the second nozzle tip is located in the first channel.

A soil-resistant fiber fabric having excellent water/oil repellency and excellent soil dirt resistance is obtained by fixing colloidal silica to a fiber fabric, and by subsequently treating the fiber fabric with a water/oil repellent fluorine compound, thereby having the water/oil repellent fluorine compound adhere to a surface of the fiber fabric.
