A method of enhancing the adhesion of a thermoplastic fluoroelastomer composition to a substrate, and for making composite articles, involves applying a partially cured dynamic vulcanizate of a fluoroelastomer and a thermoplastic material onto a substrate, and curing the partially cured dynamic vulcanizate while it is in contact with the substrate. The partially cured dynamic vulcanizate is made by dynamically vulcanizing a fluoroelastomer in the presence of a thermoplastic and a curing agent under conditions of time and temperature such that the fluoroelastomer is less than completely cured. The cure is completed when the dynamic vulcanizate is in contact with the substrate.
