There is no simple relationship. However, the general tendency is that rougher surfaces have a greater coefficient of friction.
Millions of classroom experiments would indicate that there is, in fact, a difference, but it is most likely caused by dirt, oil, and imperfections on the surfaces. When care is taken to ensure the surfaces are uniform and clean, the difference between static and dynamic friction disappears.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between wool felt and aluminum is about 0.24 to 0.26.
The normal force between the two objects and the coefficient of friction. Force of friction = normal force x coefficient of friction.
It doesn't quite work that way. You don't specify the coefficient of friction for "glass", or from "wood", etc.; you specify the coefficient of friction between a PAIR of substances, sometimes also including any substance in between, such as lubricants. For example, you would specify the coefficient of friction:* Between glass and glass (dry) * Between glass and glass (wet) * Between glass and wood * Between wood and wood * Between tiles and leather (this might be interesting, since shoes are often made out of leather) etc.
The force of friction between two objects is the product of the normal force and the coefficient of friction. The normal force is the component of force that is perpendicular to the plane of friction. For example, if you are pushing on a block of wood on the floor with a force F at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal, then the normal force N = F sin 30. The coefficient of friction is specific to the two materials, in this example the block of wood and the floor. In addition, there is a static coefficient of friction (applicable to a stationary situation) and a kinetic coefficient of friction (applicable when the object is already moving).
This coefficient of static friction is needed to find the frictional force between a body and a surface on which body has to move. If u (mu) is the coefficient of friction then uR gives the frictional force between moving body and surface. There is no unit for coefficient of friction. Here R is reaction which equals to the weight of the body

Friction= Normal force* Coefficient of friction
The coefficient of friction depends on the type of materials. Different pairs of materials have different cofficients of friction.
