from the entire embodiment the produced fibers 950 s are therefore equipped with free ends and due to the good flatness and or smooth roughness of the sacrificial layer 925 the fiber free ends may be able to inherit these surface features by replicating the surface interface thus as shown in fig9 the released free end of the fiber 950 gains a relative flat surface 910 well suited for applications where large surface contacts are desired additional embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods of preparing the hierarchically dimensioned micro and or nano scale fiber structures referring now to fig1 a a schematic cross sectional view of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention is shown to illustrate incorporating a pre defined mesa or fiber structure 126 onto the receiving substrate 20 the surface facing the first substrate 10 on the member 126 is used to receive emanated fibers 1050 member 126 when being designed as fiber or fiber like structure can also be fabricated by the method of the present invention and more than two levels of hierarchies may be applied instead of preparing the pre defined fiber structure on a first substrate the hierarchically dimensioned micro and or nano scale fiber structures can be manufactured in a concurrent manner fig1 b illustrates a two level fiber hierarchy being formed by the method of concurrent.
