Self-assembled thin carbon nanotube films using amphiphilic pendant polymer dispersants

Abstract

Various examples are provided related to self-assembled carbon nanotube (CNT) films. In one example, a method includes providing a CNT dispersion solution including an aqueous solution comprising a quantity of amphiphilic pendant polymer dispersant; and a plurality of carbon nanotubes in the aqueous solution, the pendant polymer dispersant enabling CNT self-assembly. The method further includes forming a self-assembled CNT film on a surface of a substrate using the CNT dispersion solution.
