    Abstract: A hot melt adhesive comprises at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polystyrene, polybutene, polyisobutene, linear low density polyethylene, polypropylene random copolymer, polypropylene, olefin block copolymer, polyolefins, styrene block copolymers, and ethyl vinyl acetate polymers; a tackifying resin; and at least one precisely end-capped polystyrene (PECPS). The use of the styrene-based oligomers and polymers with the precisely controlled end-groups in hot melt adhesive formulations to improve compatibility with polymers and block copolymers frequently used in such adhesives.

    Abstract: A hot melt adhesive composition comprises a polypropylene homopolymer having a DSC melting point of less than 100° C.; a butene-based copolymer; and a plasticizer. The butene-based copolymer may comprise a butene-rich amorphous poly-alpha olefin, such as a butene-propylene copolymer, or a semi-crystalline copolymer, such as a butene-ethylene copolymer. The hot melt adhesive is especially useful for bonding substrates which swell or elongate significantly in use. Such uses include adhering superabsorbent polymers to a substrate or adhering together two substrates at least one of which having superabsorbent polymers, such as the top and bottom layer of an absorbent core of a disposable hygiene article, such as a diaper, feminine sanitary napkin, and adult incontinence pad. The hot melt adhesive composition, which does not contain a tackifier, demonstrates suitable elongation at break and stress at yield, with a sufficiently low viscosity, to stabilize an absorbent core having superabsorbent polymers.
