Electrowettinginvolves modifying
the surface tension of liquids on a
solid surface using a voltage.
Surface tension forces becomes more
prominent in the microscale system.
Precise Movement of droplets
Theoretical Background
Bond number
which measures the strength of
gravity against surface tension, and
is smaller than unity.
Therefore behavior of droplet is
determined only by surface tension
The free energy of droplet is a
function of droplet shape.
