Articles comprising (meth)acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive with enhanced adhesion to wet surfaces

A wet-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive article, comprising:

• a substrate comprising a wet-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive on a major surface of the substrate,
• the wet-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive being a crosslinking reaction product of a pre-adhesive composition,
• the pre-adhesive composition comprising poly(meth)acrylate macromolecules characterized by a number-average molecular weight of about 25000 to about 200000,
• wherein the poly(meth)acrylate macromolecules are present in an amount of at least 90 wt % of the pre-adhesive composition, and
• wherein the pre-adhesive composition exhibits a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than minus 20° C. and exhibits a storage modulus of about 4 Pa to about 10000 Pa at 25° C.
