| Abstract | Digital microfluidics (DMF) is a popular alternative to traditional in-channel microfluidics, which allows precise control of individual droplets. Most commonly used droplet manipulation methods for DMF are electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) and magnetic actuation. Both methods require high surface hydrophobicity to facilitate droplet movement, and often superhydrophobic surfaces are used to further enhance droplet actuation. This study systematically examines EWOD and magnetic actuation on natural, commercial and custom-synthesized superhydrophobic surfaces for droplet-based microfluidic platforms. |
