Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in Microfluidics with Complex Fluids
TL;DR: Recent trends in the characterization of minute quantities of DNA or protein samples requires highly integrated, automated, and miniaturized "total analysis systems" (mu-TAS) on nano- and picoliter scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity-Dependent Contact Angle Alteration in Oil/Brine/Silicate Systems: the Critical Role of Divalent Cations
TL;DR: This work uses macroscopic contact angle goniometry in highly idealized model systems to evaluate how brine salinity affects the balance of wetting forces and to infer the microscopic origin of the resultant contact angle alteration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrowetting: a convenient way to switchable wettability patterns
Friedrich Gunther Mugele,Anke Klingner,Juergen Buehrle,Dagmar Steinhauser,Stephan Herminghaus +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied various fundamental and applied aspects of equilibrium liquid surface morphologies both theoretically and experimentally and showed that surface profiles on homogeneous surfaces display a diverging curvature in the vicinity of the three phase contact line.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrowetting-induced oil film entrapment and instability.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the spreading at variable rate of a water drop on a smooth hydrophobic substrate in an ambient oil bath driven by electrowetting and find that a thin film of oil is entrapped under the drop.
Electrowetting-induced oil film entrapment and instability
TL;DR: This work finds that a thin film of oil is entrapped under the drop and becomes unstable under the competing effects of the electrostatic pressure and surface tension and dewets into microscopic droplets, in agreement with a linear stability analysis.
