Electrowetting based local sensing of liquid properties using relaxation dynamics of stretched liquid interface

摘要

Hypothesis: Monitoring progression of biochemical processes is required for medical and industrial applications. Spatiotemporal changes in fluid properties can be measured to determine progress of biochemical processes like blood coagulation. Localised electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) actuates a part of droplet contact line, allowing local measurement of fluid properties without inducing bulk fluid motion, which is unlike full droplet oscillation-based techniques.
