Abstrakt: In this paper, the biocompatible/biodegradable materials, cellulose triacetate (CTA) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), are used as dielectric layers in electrowetting-on-dielectrics (EWOD) devices. The mixture film has a relative dielectric constant of 6 by spin-coating and annealing at 100 ?C in oven for 30min. The porosity, unevenness and stability of electrowetting of the mixture film are studied. The results show its good property of film deposition and negative-potential sensitive electrowetting. Experiments of the EWOD device with 1.7 ?m CTA/PLGA demonstrate that water droplets can be driven and mixed successfully. This provides the potential realization of a complete biocompatible/biodegradable EWOD device. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
