We derive the ab initio equilibrium statistical mechanics of the gas-liquid-solid contact angle on planar periodic, monodisperse, textured surfaces subject to electrowetting. To that end, we extend an earlier theory that predicts the advance or recession of the contact line amount to distinct first-order phase transitions of the filling state in the ensemble of nearby surface cavities. Upon calculating the individual capacitance of a cavity subject to the influence of its near neighbors, we show how hysteresis, which is manifested by different advancing and receding contact angles, is affected by electrowetting.

Electrowetting behaviour for carbon nanotubes (CNT) grown on stainless steel mesh was investigated. The effect of temperature, time, and applied bias voltage on the contact angle of water droplets was studied. The impact of temperature variation on contact angle was also performed for the temperature ranging from 25 to 70 °C.

Digital microfluidic systems based on electrowetting-on-dielectric technology, particularly valuable in producing and manipulating microdroplets steadily and consistently, have experienced notable advancements in recent years. In this paper, experimental characterizations reveal that simply adding one transitional electrode between the reservoir and the splitting electrode improves the volumetric consistency and reproducibility for droplet dispensing. The volumetric coefficient variation of the consecutively dispensed droplets from a non-refilling reservoir decreases by 1% after the addition of one transitional electrode, with no extra external apparatus.

Droplet directional transport is one of the central topics in microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip applications. Selective transport of diverse droplets, particularly in another liquid phase environment with controlled directions, is still challenging. In this work, we propose an electric-field gradient-driven droplet directional transport platform facilitated by a robust lubricant surface.

Electrowetting has become a widely used tool for manipulating tiny amounts of liquids on surfaces. This paper proposes an electrowetting lattice Boltzmann method for manipulating micro-nano droplets. The hydrodynamics with the nonideal effect is modeled by the chemical-potential multiphase model, in which the phase transition and equilibrium are directly driven by chemical potential.
