Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) based artificial muscles and sensors are investigated and a low cost electrode deposition method for them is described. In addition to the low cost, the new fabrication method reduces the fabrication time by a significant factor. The functionality of IPMC as a bending curvature sensor is also investigated.
