Embodiments of the present invention relate to article comprising 1) a
functionalized component, 2) tackifier, and 3) an olefin polymer
comprising one or more C3 to C40 olefins, optionally one or more
diolefins, and less than 5 mole % of ethylene having a Dot T-Peel of 1
Newton or more, a branching index (g') of 0.95 or less measured at the Mz
of the polymer; and an Mw of 100,000 or less; where the functional
component is selected from the group consisting of functionalized
polymers, functionalized oligomers and beta nucleating agents; and where
the Gardner color of the adhesive does not change by more than 7 Gardner
units when the adhesive has been heat aged at 180.degree. C. for 48 hours
as compared to the Gardner color of the unaged composition.
