Electrowetting of Ionic Liquids

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006
We have successfully demonstrated that imidazolium- and pyrrolidinium-based commercial room-temperature ionic liquids can electrowet (with a dc voltage) a smooth fluoropolymer (Teflon AF1600) surface. Qualitatively, the process is analogous to the electrowetting of aqueous electrolyte solutions: the contact angle versus voltage curve has a parabolic ...

Electrowetting and electrowetting-on-dielectric for microscale liquid handling

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2002
This paper deals with electrowetting (EW) and electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) principles applied to microfluidic devices. EW and EWOD are principles that can control wettability of liquids on solid surfaces using electric potential. While EW is controlling wettability of a certain electrolyte on a metal electrode by varying electric energy across ...

Electrowetting with Electrolytes

Physical Review Letters, 2006
A theory of electrowetting is developed for systems containing an interface between two immiscible electrolytic solutions. Laws for the dependence of contact angle on electrode potential are presented. Ionic impermeability of the liquid-liquid interface and nonlinear double-layer responses rationalize observed phenomena such as contact-angle saturation

Fundamentals and Simulation of Electrowetting: Focus on Electrowetting Lens

Recent Innovations in Chemical Engineering (Formerly Recent Patents on Chemical Engineering), 2023
Introduction: Electrowetting has become one of the most widely used phenomena for utilizing miniature contents of liquids on surfaces. Method: Electrowetting is an effective way to modify the droplet’s form with an electrical field. In this work, we will review some basics of electrowetting fundamentals and details of electrowetting on dielectric ...

Flexible electrowetting and electrowetting on flexible substrates

SPIE Proceedings, 2011
Electrowetting (EW) technology is shown to be quite flexible in operation and able to operate on flexible substrates. Complementary ON/OFF characteristics of EW devices have been obtained through a plasma irradiation and annealing process. This enables the design of EW array operation in a reduced power mode.

An Electrowetting Microvalve

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Numerical simulation of a zero‐leakage microvalve is investigated where a liquid droplet is used as a gate to regulate the flow in a T junction. The droplet gate is activated by changing its surface tension via an applied electric field.
