Zusammenfassung:One exemplary embodiment comprises a load transfer device that includes a composite component having a variable and controllable surface roughness. The component may comprise a base substrate, a compliant layer over the base substrate, and a top layer over the compliant layer. The complaint layer and the top layer may act cooperatively to reversibly generate wrinkles in response to changes in temperature of the composite component.
