Abstract: A silicone hybrid pressure sensitive adhesive composition that cures to form a silicone hybrid pressure sensitive adhesive contains a polydiorganosiloxane having reactive groups. The reactive groups include a silicon bonded (meth)acryloxyalkyl-functional group in a pendant position and a silicon bonded aliphatically unsaturated hydrocarbon group.

The silicone hybrid pressure sensitive adhesive layer contains (meth)acryloxyalkyl-functional groups, which can further react and crosslink via exposure to UV radiation (C-staged cure).
