This paper reviews publications that have fortified our understanding of the electrowetting-
on-dielectric (EWOD) actuation mechanism. Over the last decade, growing interest in EWOD …

The ambition of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems to achieve chip-level integration of a complete
analytical process capable of performing a complex set of biomedical protocols is hindered …

Surface phenomena play a decisive role in the behaviour of engineering parts; their
understanding and control are fundamental to the development of many advanced fields …

We present a numerical simulation technique to calculate the deformation of interfaces
between a conductive and non-conductive fluid as well as the motion of liquid–liquid–solid …

The static shape of droplets under electrowetting actuation is well-understood. The steady-
state shape of the droplet is obtained based on the balance of surface tension and …

Pinning of the triple contact line adversely affects electrowetting on dielectric. Electrowetting
response of substrates with contact angle hysteresis ranging from 1° to 30° has been …

Within these studies, the effect of surface topography for hydrophobic coatings was studied
both numerically and experimentally. Chemically modified polyurethane coating was …

This paper presents the thorough analysis of a new operator developed for unequal droplet
splitting by geometrical modification of a conventional electrode in digital microfluidic (DMF) …

This work presents a combined numerical and experimental study to investigate the effect of
electrode shape in electrowetting-based microsystems. A new electrode shape is proposed …

Droplet actuation by electrowetting (EW) has drawn significant interest due to the potential
applications in micro-and nano-fluidics, and the droplet departure is crucial for separation of …
