Contactless electrowetting

open access: yes, 2023
Electrowetting technology, known since more than 100 years, just recently was successfully applied for the fabrication of devices such as pixels, liquid lenses and µTas (micro total analysis systems). Some of those devices are already a market product and some others are expected to reach the maturity to be marketed in the short period, although some ...

Electrowetting in Carbon Nanotubes

open access: yesScience, 2005
We demonstrate reversible wetting and filling of open single-wall carbon nanotubes with mercury by means of electrocapillary pressure originating from the application of a potential across an individual nanotube in contact with a mercury drop. Wetting improves the conductance in both metallic and semiconducting nanotube probes by decreasing contact ...

1-D Cluster Array at the Three Phase Contact Line in Diluted Colloids Subjected to A.C. Electric Fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Colloidal particles provide an efficient mean of building multiple scale structured materials from colloidal dispersions. In this Brief Report, we account for experimental evidence on the formation of a colloidal cluster array at a three-phase contact ...

Electrowetting-Based Digital Microfluidics Platform for Automated Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Electrowetting is the effect by which the contact angle of a droplet exposed to a surface charge is modified. Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) exploits the dielectric properties of thin insulator films to enhance the charge density and hence boost the

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

A novel approach for droplet position sensing in electrowetting devices

open access: yes, 2013
A droplet position sensing scheme for monitoring multiple droplets has been proposed, which gives a direct voltage output linearly proportional to droplet position in electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) based devices. An extra dielectric and metal layers

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Adaptive Enhancement Display of Chromatic Electrowetting Based on Color Conversion

open access: yesIEEE Access
The charge capture of color inks in chromatic electrowetting electronic paper, the contact angle hysteresis and inconsistent aperture ratio result in a narrower color gamut and reduced contrast of the display screen.

Switchable Imbibition in Nanoporous Gold

open access: yes, 2014
Spontaneous imbibition enables the elegant propelling of nano-flows because of the dominance of capillarity at small length scales. The imbibition kinetics are, however, solely determined by the static geometry of the porous host, the capillarity, and ...
