Supplementry Figures Supplementry Fig. ) FE-SEM imges of nnoneedles. A constnt etching time often resulted in nnoneedles with overly-nrrow ottom prt (left). Grdully decresing the etching time resulted in more uniform nnoneedle (right). ) FE-SEM imges of fricted micropillr nd nnoneedle rrys. Micropillr rry (top) nd nnoneedle rry (ottom) re spced out uniformly. Scle rs in nnoneedle- nd micropillr-rry imges re µm, nd those in the single nnoneedle nd micropillr imges re µm. These smples re tilted.
