| Description | Liquid dielectrophoresis is a known effect whereby a body force is exerted on a dielectric liquid by placing it within a non-uniform electric field. This project developed the concept of interface-localized liquid dielectrophoresis whereby the effects of liquid dielectrophoresis only occur at an interface between two fluids (e.g. dielectric liquid-air, immiscible dielectric liquids) or at the interface between a liquid and a solid. This latter effect has now been called "Dielectrowetting" in analogy to "Electrowetting", which is the use of electric fields to control the wetting of a conducting droplet on solid surface. Electrowetting has been an important technique since it was founded in the 1990's in creating liquid lenses (e.g. Varioptic), liquid paper (Liquavista) and digital droplet microfluidics (e.g. for bio-assays - Liquid Logic. However, electrowetting-in-air is limited by an effect called contact angle saturation and is therefore unable to induce the formation of films. When the electrowetting is used to manipulate a droplet in air it also suffers from a hysteresis effect. In our work on dielectrowetting we have been able to show a number of key advances including 1. a dielectric droplet immersed in a second immiscible liquid can be reversibly controlled between a droplet and film state; 2. axisymmetric droplet spreading control can be achieved thereby providing programmable liquid lenses; 3. lubricant impregnated substrates can be used to minimize the hysteresis effects in both electrowetting and dielectrowetting; 4. axisymmetric films of dielectric liquids can be induced on non-wetting substrates and the dynamics of dewetting from a film to a droplet state studied initiated by the removal of the electric field. The removal of hysteresis effects and full reversible control of wetting from droplet to film state provides future opportunities for both optofluidic and microfluidic research. The ability to induce arbitrarily shaped films of liquids on otherwise non-wetting substrates in a highly controlled manner and study their dewetting into single droplets was not previously possible and provides both a tool and a direction for future research. In particular, the shapes of films could be controlled by design into non-natural shapes and shapes combined into arrays thereby opening up possibilities in display applications. |
| Exploitation Route | The knowledge generated has been communicated through conferences and journal publications and summarized in an invited review "Dielectrowetting: The past, present and future" (2018) enabling adoption of the techniques by others. New knowledge on the control of liquid films will be taken forwards by the academic investigators., whilst microfluidics research is being pursued by the Lab-on-a-Chip community (e.g. Lab on a Chip, vol 17, 1060, 2017). Dielectrowetting ideas and techniques have been included in a recent book "Electrowetting: Fundamental Principles and Practical Applications" (2019) where it forms section 9.2 "Dielectrowetting and Dielectrophoresis" within Chapter 9 on "Related and Emerging Topics". This book will become a key reference for academic and industrial researchers ensuring that dielectrowetting is considered as a technique. We expect potentially commercial aspects of the research knowledge will be adopted by companies using electrowetting as their technology platform. The understanding of dewetting has been translated into a simulation tool for the coating/printing industry by S. Abbott (former Director of Research, MacDermid Autotype) (https://www.stevenabbott.co.uk/practical-coatings /Dewetting.php). His industrial consultancy and website resources are extensive and will broaden industrial awareness. Information included in the teams' Outreach activities will be continued via the group's Natures Raincoats exhibition thereby communicating with a public audience. |

| Results and Impact | Two undergraduate summer projects (Caitlin Pugh and Imogen Foote) working with the HEFCE Catalyst Funded "Think Physics" STEM Outreach project at Northumbria University. Four presentations for Schools were developed based on the underlying principles of two current EPSRC funded research projects: KS2: Surface Tension (Bubble Template) KS2: Surface Tension (Think Physics Template) KS3: Hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity and surface tension KS4: Bubble architectures Experiments for Schools were also developed: Antibubble Equal and unequal forces experiment The bubble experiment The pepper experiment Why are bubbles spherical? |
