No it does not. It will actually reduce the friction between them.

Is it possible for the frictional force between two surfaces that are extremely smooth and flat to increase?
Yes the application of a load normal to the plane of the smooth flat surfaces will increase the friction between the surfaces.
What is the effect of surface area on friction?
The increase in One increases the Other. What alters the friction effects between Surfaces is another matter.
When might you want to increase friction between two object?
Turning wheels against surfaces would require some amount of friction.
Does a smooth surface reduce friction?
There is more friction between the surfaces of 2 smooth surfaces than one smooth surface because there is more surface area.
Explain why the frictional force between two surfaces increases?
There are basically two ways to increase friction between two surfaces, which are, make them rougher (increased co-efficient of friction) or press them together with greater pressure. In either case, you are increasing the interaction between irregularities on the surfaces. Completely smooth surfaces would, in theory, be frictionless.
What is the science behind friction?
Friction is a force of resistance between to surfaces/layers/etc sliding together. Friction converts kinetic energy into heat if the surface is rough then the friction increase did u know that.
What is the friction that exits between a surface sliding on another surface is called?
If the two surfaces are moving relative to each other, then the friction between them is Kinetic Friction. Prior to the surfaces moving there was Static Friction between them.
Friction between two flats surfaces can be divided into two categories what are the two most common kinds of friction?
The friction felt between two flat surfaces can either be sliding friction or static friction.
What is sticking points between two surfaces that cause friction?
Net force is the sticking point between two surfaces that cause friction.
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
What is the interaction between two surfaces?
friction!
When do the frictional forces between two surfaces increase?
As they come into contact so tight friction would increase As roughness increases frictional force too increases.
