A composition that includes a copolymer of isobutylene and diisobutylene-type monomers and various other vinyl monomers the copolymer comprising a group that is capable of undergoing a polymerization reaction when exposed to actinic radiation or ionizing radiation. The composition may be used to coat a substrate by providing a substrate applying a layer of a radiation-curable composition that includes the copolymer described above over at least a portion of a surface of the substrate and curing the radiation-curable composition by exposing the layer to actinic radiation in an amount sufficient to effect curing of the radiation-curable composition.
