Disclosed is a block copolymer having a first polymer block including a first primary monomer that is a 1,1-disubstituted alkene compound, wherein the first primary monomer is present at a concentration of about 50 weight percent or more, based on the total weight of the first polymer block, the first polymer block covalently bonded to a second polymer block including a second primary monomer different from the first primary monomer, wherein the second primary monomer is present at a concentration of about 50 weight percent or more, based on the total weight of the second polymer block. Also disclosed is a polymer comprising at least one monomer of a 1,1-disubstituted alkene compound having a weight average molecular weight of about 3000 daltons or more, wherein the polymer is substantially free of a melting temperature and is substantially free of a glass transition temperature of about 15° C. or more. |
