AB  - The presented research introduces a new Ionic Polymer-Metal-ZnO Composite (IPMZC) 
      demonstrating photoluminescence (PL)-quenching on mechanical bending or 
      application of an electric field. The newly fabricated IPMZC integrates the 
      optical properties of ZnO and the electroactive nature of Ionic Polymer Metal 
      Composites (IPMC) to enable a non-contact read-out of IPMC response. The 
      electro-mechano-optical response of the IPMZC was measured by observing the PL 
      spectra under mechanical bending and electrical regimes. The working range was 
      measured to be 375-475 nm. It was noted that the PL-quenching increased 
      proportionally with the increase in curvature and applied field at 384 and 468 
      nm. The maximum quenching of 53.4% was achieved with the membrane curvature of 
      78.74/m and 3.01% when electric field (12.5 x 10(3) V/m) is applied. Coating IPMC 
      with crystalline ZnO was observed to improve IPMC transduction.
