Brief description Electrowetting as a tool for measuring the surface energy of solids. Ionic liquids can be forced to spread over hydrophobic surfaces by applying an electric field, thus overwriting their natural tendency to bead. This phenomenon, called electrowetting, can be used to manipulate liquids but also to determine the surface energy of the solid surface which is a key design parameter in many applications.
