Electrowetting is of importance to numerous industrial, biomedical and daily life settings such as microfluidic biopharmaceutical applications, coating technology, electronic displays, optical focusing devices, miniaturised chemical analysis systems for homeland security, etc. The work, aimed at generating an understanding of the complex hydrodynamic and physicochemical processes involved, is fundamental research having generic benefits to researchers in interfacial science, electrokinetics and microfluidics. The results will also be beneficial to industrial workers in providing engineering protocols for the development of these devices by identifying optimal conditions for fluid manipulation without prone-to-wear mechanical components.

电润湿对许多工业、生物医学和日常生活环境都很重要，如微流体生物制药应用、涂层技术、电子显示器、光学聚焦装置、用于国土安全的小型化学分析系统等。这项工作，旨在产生对复杂的流体动力学和物理化学过程的理解，是对界面科学，电动力学和微流体研究人员具有普遍益处的基础研究。研究结果也将有利于工业工人为这些设备的开发提供工程协议，通过确定无预磨损机械部件的流体操作的最佳条件。
