A novel bilayer strip was made by depositing Ag nanoparticles on the surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film via physical evaporation deposition (PVD). The result shows that the free tip of this strip can move 16 mm in 1 M NaOH electrolyte when a potential of 0.36 V is applied. The displacement exhibits asymmetry when positive and negative potentials are applied. The mechanism of the bending is discussed.
