Low-cost spin-coatable, Transferable, and High-k Ion Gel Dielectric for Flexible Eletrowetting

Narasimhan V., Sanjairaj V., Park S.Y., National University of Singapore, SG

Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is an emerging liquid-handling technology, enabling the wettability modulation of a liquid on a solid surface with an applied electric field. Recently, EWOD has been attractively used on flexible substrates to show potential [...]

Fabrication of Active Digital Microfluidic Paper Chips with Inkjet-printed Patterned Electrodes and their Point-of Care Biomedical Application

Ko H., Lee J., Kim K., Kim Y., Kee Y., Kim K., Kim Y., Jung C-H, Choi J-H, Kwon O-S, Shin K., Sogang University, KR

Active, paper-based, microfluidic chips driven by electrowetting are fabricated by using inkjet printing and demonstrated for reagent transport and mixing. Instead of using the passive capillary force on the pulp to actuate a flow of [...]

Electrowetting on screen printed paper based substrate

Yafia M., Najjaran H., University of British Columbia, CA

In this work, electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) is performed on a paper based substrate. Electrode patterns are fabricated on a paper substrate using screen printing. Conventional photolithography fabrication techniques are replaced by screen printing conductive [...]

Electrowetting-driven Solar Trackers for concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) rooftop applications

Park S.Y., Kuo J., Gould K., Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, US

Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) technologies, which use additional optics (lenses or mirrors) to concentrate a large amount of sunlight onto a small area of the cells, can reduce the cost of PV systems. One of the [...]

Biomolecular Adsorption Phenomena in Electrowetting-Based Digital Microfluidic Devices

Ahmadi A., Devlin K.D., Najjaran H., Holzman J.F., Hoorfar M., University of British Columbia, CA

Digital microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology has been a new trend in miniaturizing biomedical platforms. However, nonspecific adsorption of these biomolecules has proven to be one the greatest sources of uncertainties for these biofluidic chips. Unwanted adsorption [...]
