Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter states of an electrolytic drop on charged surfaces.

In this paper, we provide a theory for the Wenzel and the Cassie-Baxter states of an electrolyte drop on charged surfaces. An electric double layer (EDL) develops when the electrolyte drop comes in contact with the charged surface. Therefore, the EDL free energy affects these states by triggering a hydrophilicity-inducing tendency.

Modeling of dielectrophoretic transport of myoglobin molecules in microchannels.

Myoglobin is one of the premature identifying cardiac markers, whose concentration increases from 90 pgml or less to over 250 ngml in the blood serum of human beings after minor heart attack. Separation, detection, and quantification of myoglobin play a vital role in revealing the cardiac arrest in advance, which is the challenging part of ongoing research. In the present work, one of the electrokinetic approaches, i.
