• Electrowetting droplet microfluidics on a single planar surface (2006, background): “The analysis of the electrostatics shows that the system reaches a minimum energy when the capacitance and thus the droplet–substrate surface area is maximum, which corresponds to a reduction in the contact angle (Kang 2002; Shapiro et al. 2003; Vallet et al. 1999; Washizu 1998).”
• Microfluidics: Fluid physics at the nanoliter scale (2005, background): “Phys., Vol. 77, No. 3, July 2005 Janocha et al., 2000 , dielectric breakdown Blake et al., 2000; Seyrat and Hayes, 2001 , surface roughness Janocha et al., 2000 , water molecule adsorption Schneemilch et al., 2000 , and vertical forces on the contact line Kang, 2002 .”
• Electrowetting: from basics to applications (2005, background): “Within this picture, equation (3) is obtained by balancing the horizontal component of the forces acting on the three-phase contact line (TCL); see figure 2.7 Note that both derivations are approximations intended for mesoscopic scales.”
