Inhalt:
In this work, super-hydrophobic coatings are investigated for drop transport with electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD). At first, the basics of EWOD are shown. Then the impact of decreasing the thickness of the dielectric layer and using super-hydrophobic coatings on the actuation voltage Vmin for drop transport is presented. In the last part, simulation results made with COMSOL MultiphysicsR are shown and the results are discussed.
