Abstract
In the following we will use the variation of the contact angle on the substrate in different systems in order to dynamically vary the wettability of the substrate. In a first part we will study how such variations influence the deposition criterion for a droplet from a syringe. Then we will observe how this simple system can be used in order to induce oscillatory motion of a drop by a modulation of the contact angle. Finally we will extensively study the influence of the wettability in a confined system consisting of parallel open microchannels, the equilibrium situation (third part) and the dynamics
