Reversible ultralow-voltage liquid-liquid electrowetting without a dielectric layer.
Electrowetting-on-dielectric devices typically have operating voltages of 10-20 V. A reduction in the operating voltage could greatly reduce the energy consumption of these devices. Herein, fully reversible one-electrolyte electrowetting of a droplet on a solid metal surface is reported for the first time. A reversible change of 29° for an 800 mV step is achieved. The effects of surface roughne...
متن کاملElectrowetting-based actuation of liquid droplets for microfluidic applications
A microactuator for rapid manipulation of discrete microdroplets is presented. Microactuation is accomplished by direct electrical control of the surface tension through two sets of opposing planar electrodes fabricated on glass. A prototype device consisting of a linear array of seven electrodes at 1.5 mm pitch was fabricated and tested. Droplets ~0.7–1.0 ml! of 100 mM KCl solution were succes...
متن کاملFrequency-Based Relationship of Electrowetting and Dielectrophoretic Liquid Microactuation
Electrowetting and dielectrophoretic actuation are potentially important microfluidic mechanisms for the transport, dispensing, and manipulation of liquid using simple electrode structures patterned on a substrate. These two mechanisms are, respectively, the lowand high-frequency limits of the electromechanical response of an aqueous liquid to an electric field. The Maxwell stress tensor and an...
متن کاملIon and liquid dependent dielectric failure in electrowetting systems.
Electrowetting devices often utilize aqueous solutions with ionic surfactants and inorganic salts to modify the electrowetting response. It has been observed in low-voltage electrowetting devices (thin dielectric, <12 V) that a frequent onset of dielectric failure (electrolysis) occurs with use of ionic solutes such as potassium chloride (KCl) or sodium dodecyl sulfate. More detailed current-vo...
متن کاملVirtual electrowetting channels: electronic liquid transport with continuous channel functionality.
Reported is a new mechanism for electronic transport of liquid in virtual channels. These virtual channels are formed by application of voltage to an array of polymer posts. The posts are coated with a conducting electrode and hydrophobic dielectric, and thereby capable of electrowetting. Directional channel formation, as well as splitting and merging, is also demonstrated using specific arrang...
