This lecture covers the surface tension effects in microfluidic channels, including complete wetting, partial wetting, and non-wetting scenarios. It explains capillary stop valves, capillary pressure, and the role of contact angles in stopping and restarting capillary flow. Additionally, it discusses electrowetting techniques to modulate contact angles and EWOD principles for manipulating droplets on electrode arrays.
