Fine structure of microspheres treated with HFIP. A HFIP Immediately dried microspheres were severely distorted in spherical shape and formed a sticky mass with neighboring spheres. B HFIP 48 h treated microspheres were shrunken, it appears that the spheres are dissolved in HFIP. C Microsphere without any process has severe uneven surface with agglomerated fine particles. D HFIP immediately dried microspheres are relatively less granular. Each scale bar indicates 10 µm (A), 1 µm (B) and 500 nm (C, D), respectively
