Described herein is a meltspun laminate comprising two or more layers of meltspun fabrics, wherein layers that are adjacent to one another are in situ entangled with one another to define an interfacial region of mixed fibers between the layers. Also described herein is a method of making a meltspun in situ laminate comprising simultaneously meltspinning two or more polymer melts adjacent to one another to form adjacent fabrics, wherein layers that are adjacent to one another are in situ entangled with one another to form an interfacial region of mixed fibers between the layers. Also described herein is a meltspinning apparatus comprising one or more dies, each die comprising two or more meltspinning zones, wherein each zone comprises a plurality of nozzles that are fluidly connected to the corresponding zone, and wherein each zone is fluidly connected to a melt extruder.

1. A method of making a meltspun in situ laminate comprising simultaneously meltspinning two or more polymer melts adjacent to one another to form adjacent fabrics, wherein layers that are adjacent to one another are in situ entangled with one another to form an interfacial region of mixed fibers between the layers, and wherein at least one fabric layer of the in situ laminate is an elastic layer that comprises a propylene-α-olefin elastomer having and an MFR of less than 80 dg/min, a Hf of less than 80 J/g, and comonomer-derived content within the range from 5 to 30 wt %, by weight of the propylene-α-olefin elastomer. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein adhesives are absent between the layers of the in situ laminate. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein adjacent layers of the in situ laminate have a Peel Strength of greater than 10 grams. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein (a) the basis weight of the fabrics is not the same, (b) the average diameter of the fibers making up the fabrics is not the same, (c) the composition of the fabrics is not the same, (d) number density of fibers per unit area in adjacent fabrics is not the same, (e) the cross-sectional shape of the fibers is not the same (f), the cross-sectional morphology of the fibers of the fabrics are not the same, or (g) any combination of two or more of these descriptors. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the layers that are adjacent to one another that are in situ entangled are formed simultaneously or nearly simultaneously. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the two or more layers of the meltspun fabrics comprise at least two facing layers and an elastic layer, the elastic layer located between the two facing layers. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the facing layers comprise a material selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, functionalized polyolefins, plastomers (ethylene-α-olefin copolymers), polyurethane, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, polyvinyl chloride, polytetrafluoroethylene, styrenic block copolymers, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, polyamide, polycarbonate, cellulosics, an elastomer, poly(acetylene), poly(thiophene), poly(aniline), poly(fluorene), poly(pyrrole), poly(3-alkythiophene), poly(phenylene sulphide), polynaphthalenes, poly(phenylene vinylene), poly(vinylidene fluoride), and blends of any two or more of these materials. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the facing layers are intrinsically non-elastic such that when incorporated in the in situ laminate, the facing layers are non-constraining and extensible without any mechanical stretching. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the facing layers have a basis weight within the range from 0.1 to 50 g/m2, wherein the basis weight of the facing layers is at least 5% less than the basis weight of the elastic layer. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the throughput of at least two adjacent polymer melts are equivalent or differs by a factor of greater than 1.5. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the in situ laminate is not subjected to air- or hydro-entanglement processes. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein filaments formed from the meltspinning are attenuated with air at a temperature of greater than 50° C. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the in situ laminate is mechanically stretched. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the process comprises meltspinning the two or more polymer melts adjacent to one another from a single die. 15. A method of making a meltspun in situ laminate comprising simultaneously meltspinning two or more polymer melts adjacent to one another to form adjacent fabrics, wherein layers that are adjacent to one another are in situ entangled with one another to form an interfacial region of mixed fibers between the layers wherein the process comprises meltspinning the two or more polymer melts adjacent to one another from a single die.
