A composite having (a) a substrate that has opposing first and second surfaces, the substrate being at least 90% transmissive in visible light and has less than 5% haze, (b) a nanostructured article including a matrix and a nanoscale dispersed phase and having a random nanostructured anisotropic surface; and (c) an optically clear adhesive disposed on the second surface of the substrate.

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. An adhesive article, such as a tape, can be formed by coating the silicone hybrid pressure sensitive adhesive composition on a surface of a substrate and curing said composition via hydrosilylation reaction (B-staged cure) to form a silicone hybrid pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the surface. 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).
