Unique load dependency of static friction of wrinkles formed on textile-embedded elastomer surfaces

We investigate, over a wide range of normal loads, the static friction on textile-embedded elastomer surfaces that show hierarchical microstructures tunable by adjusting internal in-plane compressive strains. These microstructures, under compression, comprise small protrusions on textile fibers and...
