These electroactive gel polymers, commonly PVC-based, have been widely studied regarding their actuation abilities. As far as electromechanical theory, the currently accepted mechanism for polymer gel actuation has been primarily attributed to mobile plasticizer migration towards the space charge layer near the anode. The anodophilic nature of the plasticizer provides a variety of potential applications, largely dependent on electrode geometry and configuration. As an artificial mechanotransductor however, the current hypothesis of a polymer gel’s sensing mechanism has been recently attributed to the phenomenon known as Langmuir adsorption. Upon applying a compressive strain to these soft sensors, plasticizer will exhibit migration towards the polarized adsorbed layer at the electrode interface. In this study, an application-based approach is considered to further exercise the content of the suggested polymer gel MET theory. Due to its compliant nature, the polymer gel sensor (PVC and
