  • Abstract
    As a biocompatible/biodegradable material, cellulose triacetate (CTA) is used as dielectric layers in EWOD (electrowetting-on-dielectrics) devices. The CTA has a dielectric constant of 10 by spin-coating and annealing at 100°C in electrothermal drying oven for 30min. The porosity, unevenness and stability of electrowetting of CTA are studied. The results show its good property of film deposition and negative-potential sensitive electroewetting. An EWOD device with 1.2 μm thick CTA layer has been tested, demonstrating that water droplets can be driven and mixed successfully.
