Abstract Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) phenomenon is widely employed for liquid
actuation at the micro scale. Due to its simple structure, low cost, low power consumption …

Manipulating liquid is of great significance in fields from life sciences to industrial
applications. Owing to its advantages in manipulating liquids with high precision and …

Fogging widely occurs in industrial processes, surgical treatment, and human daily lives.
Due to the reduction in transmittance, fogging induces adverse effects or even disaster …

Condensation is a necessary part of most industrial processes dealing with phase change.
Efficient condensate removal (shedding) increases the systems' performance. This study …

Electrowetting-induced detachment of liquid droplets has application prospects in self-
cleaning and digital microfluidics. Although several models have been provided to estimate …

Condensation heat transfer can be significantly enhanced by condensing vapor as droplets
(instead of a film), which rapidly roll-off. This work studies the use of electrowetting to …

In contrast to the traditional point of view, electrowetting creates a dynamic wetting regime.
Hydrophilicity can penetrate or recede from the working surface–depending on the liquid …

Modeling the electrowetting process of a liquid droplet placed on a hydrophobic surface in
an ambient environment has several challenges over and above those of basic spreading …

Distinct droplet distribution patterns of open-plate grid-wire-patterned EWOD devices under
low (1 Hz, 5 Hz) and high (500 Hz, 1000 Hz) frequencies of AC-EWOD were discussed in …

Small-scale electrodes and gaps subjected to repeated short bursts of AC voltage were
used to improve droplet coalescence and growth for water harvesting by actively bashing …
