Users and Co-Workers

• Erwin Vogler at Penn State, who works in biocompatibility and wetting of biomaterials. A recent paper, "Traube-Rule Interpretation of Protein Adsorption at the Liquid-Vapor Interface" (Langmuir, 2003, 19 pg 10342-10352) describes work performed on an FTA2000 and is available on his web site (under Projects) and from ACS by subscription.

• Annual short courses taught by Professor John Berg now include an FTA200.

• Article on use of FTA125 in printing at Georgia Southern University by Don Armel. Abstract only is shown in link, but complete article can be downloaded as a pdf file from page.

• "Creating, Transporting, Cutting, and Merging Liquid Droplets by Electrowetting-Based Actuation for Digital Microfluidic Circuits", A. Cho, H. Moon, and C. Kim, Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, Vol. 12, No. 1, February 2003, IEEE. Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/JMEMS.2002.807467. Work performed at UCLA.
