Effect of substrate topography, material wettability and dielectric thickness on reversible electrowetting
Nikolaos T. Chamakos, George Karapetsas, Athanasios G. Papathanasiou
Recent experiments by Kavousanakis et al., Langmuir, 2018 [1], showed that reversible electrowetting on superhydrophobic surfaces can be achieved by using a thick solid dielectric…
