Electrochemical wettability switches gate aqueous liquids in microfluidic systems

Abstract

We demonstrate a simple low-voltage technique for gating the flow of aqueous liquids in microfluidic systems employing the electrochemically-controlled surface energy of the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene).
