Outline of Final Research Achievements	The aim of this study is preparation of bioactuator from biomass by electropolymerization. In this study, feruric acid was selected. By using methanol/dichloromethane as a solvent with lithium perchlorate, the thin film was obtained. The thickness of the film was about 5 um. According to the chemical and optical analysis, the film had carboxyl group and lithium resulting in the suggestion that the film can play act as a bioactuator.
