Abstract: The present invention generally relates to articles comprising microstructures and methods for forming microstructures. The microstructures may be mechanically coupled to impart complex three dimensional shapes. For example, one or more microstructures may be grown on a substrate at different average growth rates, resulting in curved microstructures.
