Abstract
Low-voltage electrowetting-on-dielectric scheme realized with lubricated honeycomb polymer surfaces is reported. Polycarbonate honeycomb reliefs manufactured with the breath-figures self-assembly were impregnated with silicone and castor oils. The onset of the reversible electrowetting for silicone oil impregnated substrates occurred at 35V, whereas for castor oil impregnated ones it took place at 80V. The semi-quantitative analysis of electrowetting of impregnated surfaces is proposed.
