Irreversible electrowetting on thin fluoropolymer films. | LitMetric

Irreversible electrowetting on thin fluoropolymer films.

Langmuir

MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 244 Wood Street, Lexington, MA 02040, USA.

Published: November 2007

A study was conducted to investigate electrowetting reversibility associated with repeated voltage actuations for an aqueous droplet situated on a silicon dioxide insulator coated with an amorphous fluoropolymer film ranging in thickness from 20 to 80 nm. The experimental results indicate that irreversible trapped charge may occur at the aqueous-solid interface, giving rise to contact angle relaxation. The accumulation of trapped charge was found to be related to the applied electric field intensity and the breakdown strength of the fluoropolymer. On the basis of the data, an empirical model was developed to estimate the amount of trapped charge in the fluoropolymer as well as the voltage threshold for the onset of irreversible electrowetting.
