Compositions comprising a copolymer, an inorganic filler, and a moisture cure catalyst are described herein. In some instances, the copolymer can be derived from a (meth)acrylate, a carboxylic acid anhydride, and an aminosilane, wherein the aminosilane can be pendant from the copolymer backbone. In other instances, the copolymer can be derived from a (meth)acrylate and an organosilane in the absence of a chain transfer agent at a temperature of at least 150° C. Methods of making and using the compositions are further described. In some examples, the compositions are adhesive compositions and can be used in adhering two substrates, such as in floor covering.

A method for manufacturing a pressure-sensitive self-adhering adhesive is based on an alkoxylated silane-containing polymer, to which is added at least one tackifying resin compatible with the alkoxylated, silane-containing polymer, and at least one catalyst (K). To overcome various disadvantages of the prior art, such as a too-slow or excessively violent reaction of the alkoxyl groups, and the need for an additional supplying of water, the alkoxylated silane-containing polymer is crosslinked using a catalyst (K) that comprises a Lewis acid-base adduct, wherein the Lewis acid (LS) is a reaction-inhibited cation at least in the temperature range below 60° C., and the Lewis base (LB) is an anion of a very strong acid. In a preferred embodiment the Lewis acid (LS) is an organyl-group-containing (AG) halogen-onium cation, and the Lewis base (LB) is the anion of a superacid.
