Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrowetting has emerged as a new technique with many applications, such as micro-drop generation, manipulation and actuation, sensors, clinical diagnosis, e-paper and electronic display, energy harvesting, beam steering, liquid lenses, and many more. Despite the wide range of application opportunities, the commercialization of electrowetting still faces several challenges, such as charge trapping, oil backflow, contact line instability, dielectric breakdown, reliability in repetitive loading, etc.
This Special Issue aims to inform researchers on the recent advancement of the application of electrowetting techniques, fundamental explanation of related phenomena, development of new material and/or processes, and solution to the challenges of the commercialization of electrowetting devices. This Special Issue is also interested in showcasing a new and novel field of electrowetting applications. The Special Issue will accept diverse forms of contributions, including research papers, communications, methods, and review articles representing the state of the art in electrowetting.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
