1. A method of treating a surface of an abrasive particle having chemically-bound surface hydroxyl groups, the method comprising:
providing an adhesion promoter comprising at least one ring-opened adduct of:
a) a polyepoxide having at least two epoxy groups;
b) an aminosilane represented by the formula
HNR1R2
wherein R1 and R2 independently represent —Z—SiL3, wherein each Z independently represents a divalent linking group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and wherein each L independently represents a hydrolyzable group, and
c) an isocyanatosilane represented by the formula
O═C═N—Z—SiL3
wherein Z and L are as previously defined; and
contacting the adhesion promoter with the surface of the abrasive particle.
