The invention relates to compatibilized release compositions useful in release
layers of release articles (e.g., release liners) and adhesive articles (e.g.,
pressure sensitive adhesive tapes). The compatibilized release compositions comprise
a mixture of a thermoplastic olefin-based polymer comprising an acid or a base
functionality and a polymeric release material comprising an acid or a base functionality.
The functionality of the thermoplastic olefin-based polymer and the functionality
of the polymeric release material are selected to provide an acid-base interaction.
