Electrowetting on superhydrophobic natural (Colocasia) and synthetic surfaces based upon fluorinated silica nanoparticles
(Super)hydrophobic surfaces based on fluorinated silica nanoparticles are prepared. FSNPs are synthesized with variation in particle size and degree of fluorination. Minimum voltage is explored for EWOD with custom-made FSNP coatings. EWOD is demonstrated on commercial FSNP surface on open DMF device.
