Abstract
This work shows that droplet wettability can be precisely tuned by manipulation of the liquid phase rather than the solid phase. Controllable sliding speed and critical sliding angle of a droplet on an oil-swollen organogel surface are achieved via modulation of the DNA chain length. Biosensing applications for ATP, microRNA, and thrombin detection are demonstrated. This work presents new insights into liquid phase-dependent controllable droplet motion for the potential application of superwettable biosensors, liquid printing, microfluidics, and beyond.
