An adhesive film is disclosed that includes an adhesive layer, a first liner disposed on a first surface of the adhesive layer, and a second liner disposed on a second surface of the adhesive layer. The first liner includes a body overlapping the adhesive layer, and a plurality of wings extending from the body without overlapping the adhesive layer.

Resilient members having near-surface architectures including microstructures for controlling friction are provided. A film-terminated array of fibrils having a sharp film/fibril juncture exhibits an unexpectedly large enhancement of adhesion, static friction and sliding friction. The enhancement is provided against rough indenters. A film-terminated array of elongated ridges and valleys unexpectedly exhibits low adhesion, and an unexpectedly large enhancement of sliding friction. The film-terminated ridge/valley design provides an anisotropic structure with direction-dependent frictional properties. The increase in sliding friction force varies as a function of interfibrillar spacing, and corresponds to a mode in which buckling of the terminal film occurs. The near surface architectures may be designed with varying scales and varying parameters to provide performance characteristics tailored to various applications. By way of example, the film-terminated ridge/valley array may be incorporated in motor vehicles tires to provide low rolling resistance and high sliding friction allow for high-performance braking during vehicle operation.
