A pressure-sensitive adhesive comprises a moisture-curable polymer comprising a polymer prepared by polymerization of at least one. alpha. -olefin monomer, said polymer containing hydrolyzable or condensable silyl groups and having a weight average molecular weight of at least 30,000. The pressure-sensitive adhesive can be hot-melt coated without emitting volatiles and then can adhere aggressively to both polar and nonpolar substrates. The PSA has good internal strength at high temperatures.

Fluorine-containing thermoplastic elastomeric compositions comprising: (A) a continuous phase comprising: (1) about 0 to 90 weight percent of thermoplastic polymer having a melt temperature or glass transition temperature greater than about 150. degree. C. , and (2) about 10 to 100 weight percent of block thermoplastic elastomer having a melt temperature greater than about 150. degree. C. ; and (B) a disperse phase comprising particles or domains of cured, fluoroelastomer composition. Such compositions are preferably prepared by dynamically vulcanizing the ingredients of the fluorine-containing thermoplastic elastomeric composition.

A melt blowing process comprising: (a) providing a thermoplastic polymer material that includes at least one or a plurality of polyester polymers and at least one or a combination of different meltable metal phosphinates; and (b) melt blowing the thermoplastic polymer material into at least one fiber or a plurality of fibers, with each fiber having a diameter or thickness that is less than about 10 microns. The metal phosphinate is in an amount that (a) reduces the viscosity of the polyester polymer and (b) functions as a crystallizing agent, which at least promotes crystallization of the polyester polymer, when the thermoplastic polymer material is melt blown into the at least one fiber. Non-woven and woven fibrous structures can be made using fibers made from this process.
