DOI: 10.1109/jmems.2020.3001984
Abstract: This paper reports a droplet super-spreading and directional transport device using anisotropic ratchet conveyors (ARCs) and liquid dielectrophoresis (L-DEP). The ARC is created by patterning micro-sized hydrophilic curved rungs on a hydrophobic background. Micropatterning processes… read more here.
