systems while potentially increasing the sensitivity. However,
these new systems also introduce new material challenges. Many of
these processes rely on high electrical fields to manipulate drops
or materials within a drop. These high fields and sharp field
gradients can introduce new mechanisms for corrosion. These fields
apply forces on discrete drops that are dependent on the electrical
and electrochemical properties of the materials. We are using a nanoindenter with a modified tip to measure these forces and
characterize material degradation and corrosion processes.
