1. A porous material having a microstructure of nodes interconnected by fibrils comprising an expanded core-shell tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) copolymer, said copolymer comprising:

  • (a) a first, core portion comprising a polymer chain of TFE monomers and at least one comonomer; and

    (b) a second, shell portion consisting of a polymer chain consisting of TFE monomers,wherein said expandable core-shell tetrafluoroethylene copolymer comprises at least 3.0% by weight polymerized units of said at least one comonomer based on total weight of said copolymer,wherein said copolymer comprises a first melt transition temperature and a second melt transition temperature, andwherein said copolymer exhibits adhesion.
