Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an adhesive layer, bearing including the adhesive layer, and methods of forming. The adhesive layer can include a mixture of a first polymer, a second polymer, and a third polymer, wherein the third polymer is a modified fluoropolymer of the second polymer. In a particular embodiment, a weight ratio of a weight content of the second polymer to a weight content of the third polymer in the mixture can be at least 12:1. In another particular embodiment, the adhesive layer can have a normalized peel strength of at least 4.8 N/in/microns.
