摘要
This paper reports experimental investigations on the electrowetting behavior of ionic liquids in comparison with aqueous electrolytes, which is one of the important research topics in optofluidics. The effect of applied voltage on the contact angle is reported in detail. In addition, the liquid-solid material interfacial tension and the thickness of insulating layer are estimated under certain conditions. Related conclusions are valuable in the field of future electrowetting applications. (c) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
