Force–displacement curve of dissolving microneedles (MNs) in terms of needle aspect ratio. Representative force–displacement curve of PVA-based MNs, (A) Model 4, (B) Model 5, and (C) Model 6, with actual needle heights of 570, 851, and 1133 µm, respectively, and a fixed design base diameter of 300 µm. The tests were conducted at a compression speed of 0.5 mm/min using a 5 mm diameter rod.
