A composition is described comprising a styrene-isobutylene block copolymer; and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer. After curing the composition comprises polymerized units of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer. In some embodiments the ethylenically unsaturated groups are selected from (meth)acryl or vinyl ether. The composition is suitable for use as a (e.g. pressure sensitive) adhesive. Articles, methods of making an article, and methods of bonding are also described.

Surface protection systems, methods of forming, and methods of applying are described. A surface protection system includes a damage resistant polymer film having a major surface and an adhesive deposited on the major surface of the damage resistant polymer film. The damage resistant polymer film has a thickness of about 8 mils to about 20 mils.

Hot melt adhesives comprising (i) styrene butadiene copolymer, (ii) olefin block copolymer (OBC), and (iii) water white hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin are described. The adhesives exhibit high optical clarity and are relatively clear over a wide range of temperatures. The adhesives also exhibit good adhesion at cold temperatures.
