How To Increase Friction?

Roughen the surfaces

Increase the normal force

Use materials with higher friction coefficients

Add tread, grooves, or textures

Remove lubricants or contaminants

Keep surfaces dry

Increase surface area in contact where applicable

Use adhesive or tacky coatings

Add sand, grit, or abrasive particles

Lower the temperature if it increases grip for the material pair

Use softer materials that conform better to the surface

Increase pressure between the surfaces

Choose interlocking shapes or mechanical grip features

Prevent polishing or wear that smooths surfaces

Replace worn components

Use friction pads, liners, or inserts
