Articles prepared from controlled distribution block copolymers

An article comprising at least one block copolymer and, optionally, at least one other component selected from the group consisting of olefin polymers, styrene polymers, tackifying resins, polymer extending oils, and engineering thermoplastic resins, wherein said block copolymer has at least one block A and at least one block B and wherein:

• a. each A block is a mono alkenyl arene homopolymer block and each B block is a controlled distribution copolymer block of at least one conjugated diene and at least one mono alkenyl arene;
• b. each A block having an average molecular weight between about 3,000 and about 60,000 and each B block having an average molecular weight between about 30,000 and about 300,000;
• c. each B block comprises terminal regions adjacent to the A blocks that are rich in conjugated diene units and one or more regions not adjacent to the A blocks that are rich in mono alkenyl arene units;
• d. the total amount of mono alkenyl arene in the block copolymer is about 20 percent weight to about 80 percent weight;
• and
• e. the weight percent of mono alkenyl arene in each B block is between about 10 percent and about 75 percent.
