New Confinement Method for the Formation of Highly Aligned and Densely Packed Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Monolayers

A new method to obtain single-walled nanotube (SWNT) films with high density and orientation (see image) is described. It is based on confinement of self-organized nano-objects within surfactant bilayers. This generic method is compatible with a wide array of nano-objects (SWNTs, nanowires, nanoparticles, etc.) as well as with most substrates, such as transparent and flexible organic substrates that are of great interest in electronics applications.
