Abstract
Electrowetting of two nonwoven textile platforms is reported. Demonstrated nonwoven textiles include a polyethylene naphthalate film that was laser milled with ∼125μm pores, and pressed paper that was made using wood microfibers of 35–50μm diameter. Vacuum deposition provided an Al electrode on the polymer textile whereas layer-by-layer nanoassembly provided an organic PEI-PEDOT:PSS electrode on the wood microfibers. Both textiles were electrically insulated with parylene C and fluoropolymer. Irreversible electrowetting of water was achieved over contact angles of ∼120° to ∼70° by applying 0–100V. Completely reversible electrowetting of water/oil was also demonstrated.
