Curable precursor compositions for pressure sensitive adhesives, and related articles, assemblies and methods are provided. The composition provided comprises a surface-modifying agent comprising an alkyl (meth) acrylate, a hollow non-porous particulate filler, and a hydrophobic alkoxysilane or hydrophobic organofunctional polysiloxane. These compositions and methods enable in situ functionalization of the filler particles during or after the time that the filler particles are combined with the curable resin component to provide faster and more efficient decompression Causing the adhesive material to be produced. |
