Graphical Abstract
Line up! Aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films are formed from a lyotropic liquid-crystalline high-concentration SWNT/polymer composite (≈2 mg mL−1) dispersion. Birefringence from cross-polarized microscopy is demonstrated as a uniaxial alignment of SWNTs (see images).
