In one aspect the invention provides a laminated device of flexible and compliant layers of material, such as used to provide a dielectric elastomer sensor. A flexible and compliant layer of material is affixed to a substrate to avoid strain during processing is bonded to another layer of flexible and compliant material and released from the substrate to form a laminate. The layer of flexible and compliant material affixed to the substrate may be inspected prior to bonding.
