An elastomeric composite web ( 20 ) includes an elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ), and an operative layer of an elastomeric polypropylene-based adhesive material ( 24 ) or other surface modifying agent which is adhered or otherwise applied directly to at least one major, facing-side ( 26 ) of the elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ). In particular aspects, the layer of the surface modifying agent ( 24 ) has been provided separate from the elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ), and the layer of surface modifying agent ( 24 ) has been applied directly to the elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ) while the elastomeric-substrate has been operatively configured in a substantially unstretched condition. In other aspects, the elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ) can have a distinctively high basis weight, and the layer of surface modifying agent ( 24 ) can be applied directly to the elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ) prior to attaching the elastomeric-substrate to any separately provided, substantially non-elastomeric, supplemental-substrate. In a further aspect, the elastomeric-substrate ( 22 ) can be substantially free of continuous, elastomeric strands.
