Fabrication and Actuation of an Electrowetting Droplet Array on a Flexible Substrate
Micromachines, 2017 Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is a fast, well-established actuation method for a variety of applications, from microfluidics to electrowetting displays to electrowetting lenses. We therefore seek to develop a robust, scalable fabrication method for

Electrowetting on a lotus leaf [PDF]
Biomicrofluidics, 2009 Electrowetting on dielectrics has been widely used to manipulate and control microliter or nanoliter liquids in micro-total-analysis systems and laboratory on a chip. We carried out experiments on electrowetting on a lotus leaf, which is quite different from the equipotential plate used in conventional electrowetting.

Design of Multi-DC Overdriving Waveform of Electrowetting Displays for Gray Scale Consistency
Micromachines, 2023 Gray scale consistency in pixels was extremely important for electrowetting displays (EWDs). However, traditional electrowetting display driving waveforms could not obtain a pixel aperture ratio consistency, which led to the occurrence of gray ...

Actuation of Flexible Membranes via Capillary Force: Single-Active-Surface Experiments
Micromachines, 2018 Conventional approaches to microscale actuation, such as electrostatic, have difficulty in achieving large motion at moderate voltages. Recently, actuators relying on the active control of capillary pressure have been demonstrated, with the pressure ...

Electrowetting of soap bubbles [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2013 A proof-of-concept demonstration of the electrowetting-on-dielectric of a sessile soap bubble is reported here. The bubbles are generated using a commercial soap bubble mixture—the surfaces are composed of highly doped, commercial silicon wafers covered with nanometer thick films of Teflon®.

The renaissance of electrowetting
Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, 2023 Control of wetting on conducting surfaces using external stimuli such as electricity, underlies the operation of devices in a broad range of technologies including micro-/nano-fluidics, energy conversion/storage and filtration systems. Electrowetting is the change in contact angle of a liquid relative to its equilibrium value upon application of a ...
