Self-priming optically clear adhesives

A method of preparing an adhesive article comprising:

• providing a release liner, wherein the release liner has a first major surface and a second major surface, and wherein at least the second major surface comprises a release surface;
• providing an adhesion promotion composition;
• disposing the adhesion promotion composition on the second major surface of the release liner to form an adhesion promotion layer on the second major surface of the release liner, wherein the adhesion promotion layer has a first major surface in contact with the release surface of the release liner, and a second major surface;
• providing an optically clear adhesive or a precursor mixture capable of forming an optically clear adhesive;
• disposing the optically clear adhesive or precursor mixture on the second major surface of the adhesion promotion layer, to form an optically clear adhesive layer, with a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein the first major surface of the optically clear adhesive layer is in contact with the second major surface of the adhesion promotion layer, wherein the adhesion between the optically clear adhesive layer and the adhesion promotion layer is higher than the adhesion between the adhesion promotion layer and the release liner, such that adhesion promotion layer remains adhered to the surface of the optically clear adhesive layer upon removal of the optically clear adhesive layer from the release liner.
