Starting from the basic principles of wetting, electrowetting and fluid dynamics all the way up to those engineering aspects relevant for the development of specific devices, this is a comprehensive introduction and overview of the theoretical and practical aspects. Written by one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field, the text covers both current as well as possible future applications, providing basic working principles of labΓÇôonΓÇôaΓÇôchip devices and such optofluidic devices as adaptive lenses and optical switches. Furthermore, novel eΓÇôpaper display technology, energy harvesting and supercapacitors as well as electrowetting in the nanoΓÇôworld are discussed. Finally, the book contains a series of exercises and questions for use in courses on microfluidics or electrowetting. With its allΓÇôencompassing scope, this book will equally serve the growing community of students and academic and industrial researchers as both an introduction and a standard reference.
