Topographical patterns endow material surfaces with unique and intriguing physical and chemical properties. Spontaneously formed wrinkling has been harnessed to generate surface topography for various functionalities. Despite promising applications in biomedical devices and robot engineering, the friction behavior of wrinkling on curved surfaces remains unclear. Herein, wrinkled surfaces are induced by sputtering metals on soft polymer microspheres. The wrinkle morphologies and length scales can be controlled precisely by tailoring the microsphere radius (substrate curvature) and film thickness. The wrinkled surfaces exhibit controlled friction property, depending on the wrinkling patterns and length scales. An increase in friction force with increasing surface roughness is generally found for dimple patterns and labyrinth patterns. The dimple patterns show the lowest friction due to strong curvature constraint. The herringbone patterns exhibit apparent friction anisotropy with respect to topographic orientation. These results will guide future design of wrinkled surfaces for friction by harnessing substrate curvature.
