This paper describes development of an active and sensitive composite based on a simple metal composite. To realize this material system, continuous titanium fiber was embedded in aluminum matrix together with stainless steel reinforcement fiber, of which surface was oxidized to be insulated from matrix to form a heater and a temperature/strain sensor. It successfully actuated and sensed temperature and electric resistance changes with the multi-functions of the embedded TiO_2/Ti fiber.
